Smell of gas after driving for about 20 min. Lead to a pop sound from under vehicle. Smoke filled the inside of the van and after I brought it to a stop on a median the vehicle was engulfed in flames before I managed to exit. After exiting the vehicle and having the fire put out soon on with use of a fire extinguisher I noticed the evap canister had dropped all of its charcoal. Possible that gas was being directed into this canister and when it popped the fumes and gas ignited from the exhaust system.

The van experienced brake failure while driving at 45 mph. The brake pedal went to the floor when it was applied. When this occurred, the vehicle failed to stop immediately, which resulted in extended stopping distance. The brake failure was caused by the rear brake cylinder bursting and leaking fluid. Also there was a gas smell within the cabin of the vehicle when the heat was on. The dealership indicated it was due to a fuel leak within the engine compartment.
