Someone I know spotted this whilst out and about, and managed to grab a quick picture - Any ideas what it is about?

For those hard of vision, it has decals saying:
"BEWARE This car blew up LIFE THREATENING"

Possibly a duplicate of https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/991872/R... ?

Looks remarkably intact for something that blew up.

Found it hard reading that twitter feed TBH. Car blew up 3 times? what does that even mean??
Also, It's a 4x4 but seems it couldn't make its way fully on the the grass.. Don't know the details so maybe I'm being too cynical..

From what I can glean from the ramblings:

Car broke down on dual carriageway with no hard shoulder. Police/Wombles coned off the approach while waiting for the tow truck and suggested car occupants wait on the verge. Despite that one or two other vehicles came close to the cones putting his "family in danger".
Dealer says sorry, fixes the car and offers £500. Internet hero declines and mounts campaign involving stickers.

I don’t understand this type of protesting. If you are scared to put your family in it or it breaks down more often then just sell it. Why still own it with stupid stickers down the side?

I can’t imagine in this selfish society that we now live in that she sees the benefit of owing a very expensive car just to warn others not to buy one.

Your family didn’t die, sell it and move on. Or should we assume as this is PH they’re up to their neck in a £500 a month 4 year hire agreement and can’t shift it?

Having read the article it looks like he spent £86k on it. Why not just sell it back to dealer. Even if they offer £5 surely that’s better than it killing your family.

If its that life threateningly dangerous, why is he still driving it?

nowhere on the twitter feed of the article does it say what the fault was and what was repaired/replaced each time.

Normally when people get so disgruntled by dangerous/unreliable vehicles they are legally parked in front of the dealers for as long as possible for all to see. not just carrying out their daily business as if nothing happened
