Consumer started the vehicle, went into the house to let the vehicle warm, upon returning the vehicle was on fire. Recently a recall 04v090000 was received indicating a possible fire.
When driving at an undetermined speed, the check engine light appeared on the dashboard, then the vehicle stalled. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership and the mechanic determined that the fuel pressure failed. The radiator cap was replaced. While in motion, about 2 miles at 30 MPH, the check engine light had come on. The vehicle was returned to the mechanic. The next day the vehicle would not start. The dealer found that fuel leaked and ruptured the manifold. Recall#04v090000.
