What owners wrote
Son was driving, smelled something burning. Other drivers noticed flames under vehicle. Pulled off thoroughfare & parked vehicle; got out of vehicle; vehicle burst into flames. Fire dept arrived & put flames out. Insurance adjustor said it was gas line rupture. Vehicle totaled.
When my fuel goes below 3/4 of a tank, it dies on me. It starts to jerk like its shifting hard, then looses power. When I try to start it back up, it turns over but doesn't act like its getting any fuel. Then the battery goes dead. If I get gas and fill it back up it runs fine. I have spent many hrs broke down on the hwy. I was never in an accident.
