What owners wrote
While the truck was parked at campsite, about midnight, consumer was awakened to find the truck on fire. Consumer and others at the campsite extinguished the fire. Had truck towed to an automobile clinic, and was informed the fire started from the fuel tank. Then, consumer received a recall notice for the same problem.
With my foot on the brake, I put the truck in reverse to begin backing out of a driveway. I applied a little gas to slowly backup around the turn in the drive. As I was rolling backwards, I had my foot on the brake because I was navigating past other parked vehicles. As I was clearing one of the vehicles, the truck suddenly jolted backwards hitting a tree. So then, with my foot on the brake, I put the truck in drive so that I could pull forward away from the tree.
