You'd think after 20 odd years with the same electrical, circuitry, fuel, ABS issues, that Volkswagen AG would have figured out and fixed their cars' prediliction to igniting themselves. 5 years and 500k cars recalled later.. Not much has changed. VWs, Audi's and Porsches, thank bloody hell they have firewalls. Never own one unless you own a flame retardant suit. It's time the worlds largest automotive manufacturer bucks up. Pictured: Audi Q5. Luckily these guys got out by punching the side glass out. Some are not so lucky. @vw @volkswagen @audi @porsche #audiQ5 #paulwalker
