PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The Valley’s summer heat could be taking a toll on your vehicle. Arizona’s Family has aired multiple car fires on Phoenix-area freeways in recent weeks. Valley mechanic Frank Leutz said the extreme heat can impact under the hood. The rubber hoses could be leaking fluids, which can lead to a fire, and your battery could be leaking acid, too. Leutz recommended while getting tires checked for the summer, also have a mechanic pop the hood and check those parts.
