Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge Problems of Subaru Outback

About 4 weeks ago, on late Saturday morning, driving down the interstate, from richmond, va my car caught on fire in hampton. The car jolted a little and would not accelerate. Pulled to the side of the road, smoke became visible, but the temperature gauge was not running high. A witness ran toward the car yelling to get out of the car because it was on fire. Even though 2 fire trucks were on the scene, it took a little while to extinguish the fire and everything under the hood was burnt to a crisp. Unfortunately, it was not recoverable. Are you aware of what may have possibly caused this to happen?.

I had a major issue with this vehicle on June 24. We were driving back from our family vacation when I was passing a semi truck on a two lane road the vehicle suddenly lost power to the wheels and would not accelerate. As I stepped on the gas the engine revved up but the vehicle was not accelerating. I thought it slipped out of gear. I put it in neutral then back into drive and still had the same problem. I put my flashers on to alert the truck that I was having issues. I pulled onto the shoulder and he passed me. I noticed the tachometer read between the 3 and 4 mark when I put my foot on the accelerator trying to speed up. However, the vehicle did not speed up at all. I was able to pull off the road onto a turnout area. The passenger in the front seat asked if any warning light came on. No lights of any sort came on. The temperature gauge was in the normal operating range. After the car stopped I turned off the ignition and opened my door and noticed flames coming from the bottom of the car. I immediately instructed the other three (3) passengers to immediately exit the car because of the flames. Luckily we were able to exit the vehicle and get a safe distance away to call 911 for assistance. Unfortunately the fire continued to burn and engulfed the car. Black smoke started to appear. The fire department showed up and extinguished the fire. We watched helplessly while our car and possessions went up in smoke. We contacted Subaru and filed a compliant. They took their time and eventually sent their qa team to inspect what was left of the vehicle. They finally sent us an email stating they could not find the root cause of the fire because the fire damage was too intense. We bought this vehicle new just two years prior and it only had about 30k miles and had all the factory recommended services at the dealership. The vehicle is under warranty.

In March 2013 an authorized Subaru service department noted there was a recall (49 cfr part 573. 6) for puddle lights on my car and ordered the parts. This is noted in my file at the service department. They were going to call me when the parts came in. That did not happen. Now my puddle lights have failed and the short makes it so many more features in my car do not work (interior lights, gauges and key fob (currently use the same fuse). For some reason my VIN does not show on the recall look up, but it fits the VIN range as well as make, model and year. Is it possible that Subaru can skirt the recall, if the puddle lights were installed at the dealership at time of purchase and not at the factory (same part, authorized service department, new car)? this appears to be the case. To date, Subaru USA has offered to pay half the cost the repair ($881) in the interest of 'customer satisfaction' and not per the recall (sr1-30211430901). My local michael's Subaru in bellevue washington (service advisor kevin moore) has not offered anything and had made few efforts, if any, to contact me with status. I feel the bellevue service department dropped the ball 5 years ago when it would gave been easier to address (new recall and newer car - 67,000 miles). The problem was first noted in December 2017 when the key fob stopped working. That was tracked to a short in one of the puddle lights. I am trying to understand if this part should be covered by a recall and if this might also be related to the magnuson-moss warranty act even though thus a a recall.

On approximately 04/13/2014 approximately at 6:00 pm et, my suburu Outback 2010 rapidly accelerated when my foot was centered on the brake petal and I moved the gear from neutral to drive. The vehicle lurched forward, engine highly revved. I pushed hard as possible on the brake and shoved the gear back into neutral. The engine was racing and I switched off the power. I powered back up and the temperature gauge, gas mileage calculator, etc. Was out. The ac/heat temperature and control screen was out. The fan control only would work and put out extreme heat. The outside mirror motors would not work. For the next 30 minutes on the way home I stopped several times and experienced the same electrical conditions upon restart. On April 14, 2014, all systems were normal when I started the engine. I took it to the dealer was told they would replace the switch (keys) but had no information on rapid acceleration out of control. I am concerned this will happen again and result in wreck and/or injury to myself and/or others. No mats were in the car at time of incident.
