Tata nano’s are on Fire! – How safe is a tata nano car?
Tata Nano’s were on FIRE when the booking started and when they are out in the market, they are actually on FIRE. Two Tata Nano cars were caught in fire in the past two months. The first Tata Nano Fire was reported in Mumbai where software 
engineer Satish and his wife had a narrow escape in March 2010 and the second Tata Nano fiire happened in Vadodara in April 2010.
Tata Motors attributed those to a faulty electrical switch and said it had changed suppliers and done additional tests to rule out a recall or redesign. The four-seater nano can travel up to 105 kph and gets 23.6 kilometers per liter. The Nano does not have air bags or antilock brakes – neither of which is required in India .
Incidents like this would tarnish the nano brand as people would be more and more concerned about buying the car. Some of the initial fears was that Nano is a light card and it would topple if accelerated to high speeds, less safety for passengers in case of an accident etc. But how safe is a nano? Time will tell!
