What owners wrote
Entered the freeway and after reaching speed of approximately 55-60 MPH I heard a loud sound that sounded like a small explosion. Someone driving in the lane next to me began frantically pointing at the engine of my car. Immediately I saw smoke and flames coming from underneath the car's hood. I pulled off the exit that I was approaching, parked the car at the curb, jumped out the car, dialed 911.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler pacifica. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the fuel gauge indicated that the tank was empty after indicating three quarters of a tank of fuel one minute earlier. The contact attempted to add fuel to the vehicle, but the tank was full. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel lines and fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.
