Fire originated from engine area. We were pulled over by another driver who saw flames under the Mini-van. As I (driver) exited auto, I was hit by explosive flames that originated from engine exiting behind the left front tire. Flames also emitted from passenger front (rt) side. Driver and front passenger received 2nd and 1st degree burns. Auto was engulfed in flames within 5 minutes. Total loss. Insurance company investigated - preliminary conclusion fuel leakage.

Over a year and 1/2, had multiple (at least 10) incidents of vehicle stalling while slowing down, at turns or traffic lights. Resulted in loss of power steering, brakes, and temporary loss of control onto next lane; luckily, no accidents. Multiple trips to Plymouth dealership, all inspections and costly empirical repairs are fruitless, until ais (automatic idle speed) motor replaced (throttle body cleaned, also). The mechanic stated he had seen this problem in his own Plymouth! this failure has not recurred in the 3 years since making the ais motor the likely cause of the problem. This is simply a follow-up, hopefully of some use to drivers and mechanics.

My wife and three children left the house in our 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager minivan at approximately 8:05am on Wednesday, September 1, 1999 to travel to school. After traveling approximately 1 and 1/2 miles, they began to smell gasoline. After traveling another 1/2 mile, motorists behind the van began honking. One of our sons looked and saw flames out of the back of the van. My wife pulled the van to the side of the road, turned off the ignition, and removed the keys. Everyone quickly go out of the van through the front doors and the right side sliding door. At this point, flames were coming our from underneath the van in the rear and on both sides. A trail of flames on the road was still burning where the van had traveled. Bystanders called the fire department. The flames eventually completely engulfed the van before the fire department could arrive and extinguish the fire. No gasoline was found in the garage where the vehicle was parked the night before. No objects were run over on the way to school. A fire department report is available.
