What owners wrote

I was accelerating on the freeway when the car shuddered and I saw smoke coming out of the hood. I was able to pull over quickly, released the hood and stepped out of the car thru the passenger side door. I opened the hood and saw the fuel injector was on fire so I immediately slammed shut the hood and called for help. Fortunately a motorcycle cop from the san diego police was at the scene just moments after it happened.

September 2000 Fire

On saturday 8/23/14 I was drove on sw walker in beaverton, oregon with the speed is 45RPM. Then I was smell the gas in my car. The smell of gas make me headache very bad. I drove home and checked underneath front of the car and see the leak look like oil leak on the ground but this is not the oil leak. It is the fuel leak. I opened the hook to checked for the leak to find where the leak come from? I found the leaked came from the fuel line from the fuel injection connected to fuel filter.
