It is pretty rare for a car to just blow up and burst into flames with no warning at all.........

Like this!!!

Given the number of laptops, ipods etc in circulation and the number that actually blow up it is hardly a common occurrence either. In the case of your video, and the original post they didn't "burst into flames with no warning at all". The Youtube video obviously new something was wrong, and the OP referred to it getting too hot to hold.

Yes but you wouldn't be holding the battery pack in your car would you???

Remember all the films where a car goes over a cliff and blows up on impact? Doesn't happen in the real world - but I bet it will with battery packs!!!

ffs can we get back to Apple and the fact they wont recall ipods or iphones, and they have tried to hush those that have had failures

For all we know... Mr Kennett is wondering why his left buttock has suddenly heated up In which case I advise .. Jump out of the window now John do a firemans roll on the grass, pull off your strides shouting 'damn you MR Jobs'
