I was driving at 60 MPH when I began decelerating and realized engine had shut off. I coasted to a stop. I was getting tools to check relays when I noticed fire at rear wheel, driver side, at gas tank. Called closest fire department. 6/9/06. Parking brake line on fire with ABS line. Had wiring repaired. July 16,2006 brakes felt like they were locking, rear was smoking again, looked like fire at gas tank. July 17 had mechanic check all brakes which were excellent except parking brake line bent, but released. July 19, brakes locking up a little. July 20, couldn't drive without reverse/forward and still didn't want to go. I sell ice cream to little children while my van is running. Parking brakes work but won't release fully. Appeared to be vinyl lining at floor level interfering, but may have been wiring. Had a second fire on ground battery terminal and inside hood on june 16,2006 called fire department. Don't know cause. Replaced burned wiring only. All else worked. Also, it appears the leaky filler hose was never replaced on this van. Interior light had fire pattern when bought second hand. I was not aware there was a recall.
