Warning!! Ez-go Golf Carts!!!

[Shane Carr]

There has now been 2 EZ-GO golf carts catch on fire in the fuel cell area.
1. The Folks were traveling to the million 2 weeks ago pulled into a rest area for a routine trailer check only to discover they had a problem, for some reason the golf cart caught on fire ( looks as if a wire shorted out around the fuel tank area) Didnt appear to be anything in the battery area!

2. Eagle Racing engines on friday while they were in the lanes at bowling green there golf cart caught fire, lucky for them they had just got to the track and rolled it out of the trailer. The cart has some damage but should be able to be repaired. Only the cart had any damage.

The Folks cart is basically junk really not anything left on it that could be used, plus the inside of the trailer is black from the smoke and the cars were also damaged but they are still raceable.
To sum it up they had a real big mess on there hands when they got to memphis and were very fortunate in a way that they didnt lose the entire trailer.

I dont know what the problem is but i do know that it will just catch on fire, SO EZ-GO OWNERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think both carts were 2001 or 2002 year model.

The Golf Cart Problem Is A Manufacturer Defect Which Is Ez-go Textron.they Have Had A Problem In Isolatd Situations Wher The Ignition Module Shorts Out Which Is Mounted By The Gas Tank. Pit-pro Does Not Modify The Factory Drivetrain Or Components On The Engine During The Building Process Of Their Carts,so This Is Not A Pit-pro Problem And These Are The Only 2 We Have Heard.pit-pro Has Been In Business Since 1999 And Has Sold Several Thousand Carts To Racers And These Are 2 Isolated Instances. Our Reputation Speaks For Itself. So,mr Shane Carr,iwould Do A Bit More Research To Gain The Correct Knowledge You Need Before You Make A Statement Towards The Product Of Our Company.

I don't believe Shane said anything bad about Pit Pro. He mentions these carts were EZ-GO.

Chill out brother.

[FOR REAL]

I had an EZ-Go explode in my driveway that's why I only buy Yamaha now.

I dont read anything that states these carts were from Pit Pro. But I belive this is great info and a good
heads up to all cart owners I dont care if its a EZ-go or not we own two Yamahas and do to this post I will
be installing a Battery shut off switch in both no reason other than Its possible to have a electrical fire in
your cart thats in your trailer going down the road. I also have several friends that own EZ-go carts and if this is a manufacture defect Why is there no Recall or Saftey Bulletin that I do belive is the Dealers responsabillity to contact all there customers of this problem if its a factory defect. Or they taking the Firestone Tire approach.
Thank You Mr Carr

iF I May interject, I firmly believe Shane was Simply making the point That both Carts were From Pit pro...I Didn't Read Where the Forum was warned About A Substandard Product from A Substandard Company. Everyone knows that Pit Pro is the Benchmark for Pit vehicles today. I am Gonna check my Ignition Module for signs of proBlems. Thanks

If you go to the website Recall Warnings it does list a recall about a EZGO golf cart fire problem. It might be a good idea to get in touch with EZGO about a fix for the problem.
