Vehicle was parked in the garage, there was fuel leaking from the top of the gas tank which caused a fire. Consumer doesn't want the vehicle back due to the fact that there was fuel coming from the radiator. The fire department came out and they couldn't determine what caused the fire. Dealer doesn't know what caused the fire either.
