Yea, that actually happened in Poreč (about 30 km from where I live). It burned because of technical problems! At first everybody though it happened because of some other reasons, which might be true but I don't want to get into that!

Didn't the A6 have similar problem with burning dashes a few months ago?

Re: Audi Q7 - serious deffect: front wheel arm broke at 130km/h

lol 130km/h my ass, we all know they were probably doing 200km/h as otherwise they should have been able to slow down, but quite alot of SUV's have been having these problems, hummers and jeeps included.

SUV's are just crap. I hope people will stop buying these things thinking that they are invincible, and giving the driver a false sense of security.

Forgot to read this?

So a (brand new) car at 130 km/h looses its right wheel on the highway when driving straight forward, because of a mechanical default, becomes completely uncontrollable (the brake circuit also got interrupted as the oil tube getting to this wheel also broke), gets out of the way, hits the lateral hill, fells on its side, and it would be normal that no security system worked. What its the use of such systems then?

And Btw, watch your language!

Ok 200mkh is a bit fast, 160/170km/h maybe for the average driver in france.
