this is what the dealerships insurance said as to why they are not liable.
Quote:
After speaking with several mechanics, it appears that our insured did nothing wrong. Because our insured could not duplicate your concerns with the vehicle at the shop, they needed to take it on a test drive at highway speeds and press the brakes. There was no reason to believe or know that the vehicle was going to start on fire and they did everything possible to put it out.
As you are aware, your vehicle has an aftermarket turbo. Whoever installed, allowed it to touch the brake
line. Although the turbo is secured with straps, it still shakes when the car is being driven. The shaking caused the
brake line to fray and brake fluid eventually leaked and hit the exhaust, hence starting a fire.
