Tata Nano car catches fire in Sri Lanka

Yes, there is no guarantee of any brand. But your Indian cars catch fire way too often. That's the problem.

Do you have a statistic/study/article to prove it ?

Zotye electric taxi burst into flames in China

Even the Chinese made jeep wranglers are crap !

Chinese Wrangler recall more smoke than fire? at Allpar Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep News

Okay, we are back to Indian reading comprehension 101.

[Last Friday, The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), the Chinese government’s product quality agency, said the country would suspend imports of Jeep Wranglers because of what it called “a serious potential safety hazard.”]

Okay what part of imported Jeep Wrangler (from the states) don't you understand?????

The other is an electric vehicle. Electric vehicles aren't exactly a mature technology, but I should expect TATA to be able to make a simple little gas-powered lawn mower engine without it bursting into flames. FAIL.

Just like the Chinese high speed rail crash or the US shuttle disaster, this is just an engineering problem. It will be analyzed, and a proper solution designed and implemented. Problem solved.

So the car is not Chinese. You have no issues over imported american cars catching fire in your country. But you seem to be be burning over a ''simple low tech lawn mover engine car" catching fire !!!

The biggest disadvantage of placing the engine at the rear lack of proper cooling. The fire could have been to inefficient cooling system. I am sure Tata will rectify this design problem in their future Nano upgrades. Apparently here some chinese also have brains at their rear !

After multiple Tata Nano fire incidents, it goes like,

Auto Salesman.. Tata?
Cusomer..No! No!

I guess Srilankans will soon be saying Tata (bye bye) to NoNo cars...

A pathetic attempt at comedy. Even high school kids are more mature ! Take a ride in your "Sitara"

Its easy when you already have a successful reputation say, like the Japanese .

For 3rd world nations like India its all the negative stereotype

But a steady process of design and product improvements is exactly how successful reputations are built in the first place, no matter what country it is.

Well overcoming stereotypes and failures is possible with time and persistence.

Toyota's first car in the US was an abysmal failure too. It was totally recalled about a year.

The economist Ha-Joon Chang (korean) wrote a book called "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism" about infant industry protection etc and used Toyota as an example. Was a good book
