Consumer states vehicle burst into flames spontaneously, vehicle had not been driven in twelve hours, the fire was concentrated to the left of the steering wheel, possibly started from the engine.
My husband was driving his 1996 plymouth voyager van when the engine started racing. He was pulling into a parking spot, and when he tried to stop the van, the brakes could not stop it, and it hit a car in front of it. He put it into reverse, and it kept going forward and hit the car harder. He took the van to a mechanic who ran a diagnostic test on it, and they could not find the cause of the problem.
