Looks like the Jeep fire might of been caused by something other then The Note 7!

This I'm not too surprised about. Most car fires are either fuel leaks or electrical in nature.

In the video I saw about the jeep fire, it said the owner had done some heavy mods on it. Maybe one of those was the cause.

I could certainly believe that heavily modding could result in an error in wiring or failed third party appliance or "mod" leading to subsequent fire. The 12 Volt Lead/acid batteries in our cars are capable of putting out massive amounts of power all at once (cold cranking amps), in some cases over 8,000 watts and approaching 10,000 watts (typical microwave ovens produce about 1500 watts). They can produce enough current to weld steel and melt copper wiring, and sparks that can jump several feet away, any of which can quickly ignite flammable materials in the vehicles.

It doesn't even take heavy modding .add the wrong car stereo or even factory stuff like improperly grounded cruise control wire when the vehicle is off..can lead to fires or explosion or at the very least..a pcm failure..it damages the circuit by having t9 little or too much amperage ..

Agreed, but heavily modded means there's even greater potential for failure.

The biggest mods I've seen on jeeps is light bars...(south east Texas has a weird and huge Jeep following) but I agree..people.with no real education into auto electrical systems...should Not be modifying systems...it's like me playing with lighting..with coat hangers and fire crackers...no real good will come of it

That is wat i am thinking for that thing to be burning like that seems like it had some type of fire starter somewhere. And i use to run with fire company back in the day and one thing that is basically untraceable is the spray glue on wires and it just burns away and no trace. Yeah the phone could of been left in the jeep in the heat on charge allowing the battery to heat up and start it but my question is who took the pic instead of calling the fire trucks lol

Awful funny how it is parked at beginning of driveway away from house in the sun and better yet facing the sun probably with phone laying on the dash

It's quite possible that the sun and heat played a role as well.
