    Saw sa UKG just now, an FD Civic (a 1.8 S model basing from the mags unless nagpalit siya) allegedly lost its brakes then suddenly caught fire inside the engine bay while cruising inside UP Diliman. Ubos yung tsikot, lata na lang natira. The driver and lone passenger survived although the passenger was brought to the hospital for evaluation.

    According to a fellow HCPer nagpakita na daw yung kwentong ito sa TV.

    Banggaan would make sense...broken fuel lines catching fire and all

    might be a hit-and-run issue. baka ang nakabangga isang VIP from UP. :D it would make sense kasi the front bumper was way off the car.

    The driver said that the car's brakes suddenly lost power and were not working and then he saw fire coming out of the engine bay. He had to crash his car to a post to stop it before the whole car was engulfed by fire.

    This is weird. What could have triggered the fire? HCPI should look at this incident. I'm worried because I drive the same car.

    Sounds like this happened... brake line came loose... fluid spilled over something hot, probably the exhaust manifold (although how this can happen, I don't know... the exhaust manifold on the R18 is in front, while the brake master is in the back.

    There's a recall for the US version Ford Escape... apparently, loose brake lines can allow contaminants in, which can, in rare instances, cause an open fuse for the ABS, which can cause a fire... although the chances of this kind of thing happening on a brand new Civic are kind of low.

    There's supposedly some kind of recall in Japan regarding lubricant leaking on the brake master switch, but I can't find english info on this that isn't garbled, at the moment.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Question also would be if the car was still stock or if any modifications have already been made. Will look out for this in the news. Any pics from U.P. folks?
