What owners wrote
Had received recall notice 98v184000 & notified dealer. Took vehicle to dealer & had "o" rings repaired under recall. Picked up vehicle & it was running rough. Tok vehicle back to dealer when other drivers started flagging owner down due to vehicle on fire. The recall remedy had failed & vehicle had caught fire.
I noticed a gas smell while driving and thought that since I had recently put gas into the vehicle that that was what I smelled. The smell persisted and I had the hood open and I noticed that gas was gushing out of the front middle part of the engine. My engine light had come on and it was flashing on and off so I parked it and it now sits. I rely on my car to get to work. I was told that a fire could start and I feared for my safey and others around me.
