The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and requested that the contact video tape the failure. The video was not sent and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000. Fe.

I took my car into the service department due to a strong smell of propane/natural gas. The service writer informed me that the smell was really bad but that it should be safe to drive and that she couldn't get me in until Tuesday. I buckled my 2 year old in the car seat and left the dealership/service department. The service write stated that there was a TSB out on the car and it could be a possible leak in the ptu. But should be that big of deal. We started to travel home the car stalled, on a highway traveling at about 60 miles per hour, and there was a loud pop, I was on the phone with my sister who was traveling behind us who told me that my car was on fire and to pull over. I stopped the car, when I was stopped the interior of the car filled with smoke I rushed to get my child out of the car and moved away from the car. I didn't see any flames just a lot of smoke. I feel we were lucky because my sister was able to inform me immediately that there was smoke. I feel that if I would have driven the car much further the outcome could have been much different.
