My daughter's Picasso '03 reg petrol. Burst into flame on the forecourt of the Citroen dealer she had repeatedly complained to about an intermittent fault whereby she would be driving along and the car would suddenly lose power and reduce speed to around ten MPH.
The dealer serviced it last week and found no fault on a diagnostic check. This morning the fault occurred again as she was taking the grandchildren to nursery & school. She dropped the two little ones off at nursery and decided the elder could be a bit late as the dealer was close by.
On arriving at the dealer she parked on the forecourt removed her phone/purse and infant #3, left the engine running, incase the fault disappeared on restart, went to reception to tell them the fault was apparent, turned around and saw the car in flames.
Had she kept all three kids with her she would have left them in the car! Shocked; but lucky!
Has anyone else had this instantaneous combustion happen?
