What owners wrote
My husband and I just dropped our two kids off at my mother-in-laws house and were on our way back home when I started to smell gas. I told my husband and he stated to pull the car over and he would check it out. He popped the hood and flames shot out from under the hood. The first thing that I thought was my husband was on fire. I jumped out of the car and found my husband on the other side of the car looking for the kids in the backseat and he was screaming get out of the car. I jumped out of the car and we ran.
1- an undetectable event caused a small hole in the fuel line of a toyota corolla. The air in the garage where the car was parked overnight was permeated with the odor of gasoline, and introduced the real possibility of an explosion. 2- the failure is a weakness in the strength and durability of the fuel line of toyota corollas. The fuel line had a small puncture and filled the confined area with gasoline vapor.
