Some Mitsubishi Raider owners report experiencing engine compartment fires while driving, often triggered by car crashes that cause fluid leaks and spillage, combined with heat and smoke. These incidents can escalate quickly, making it crucial for drivers to avoid opening the hood if a fire is suspected, as additional air can intensify the flames. Furthermore, some owners emphasize the importance of regular maintenance to prevent engine overheating, which can lead to dangerous fluid leaks igniting on hot surfaces. In the event of a fire, prioritizing safety and seeking immediate assistance is essential to mitigate the situation and prevent further damage or harm.
