Was coming home from work at 11pm last night. A flicker of light to my right caught my eye. Flames from under a van parked next to a home. Turned around and pulled into the driveway of the home as I’m calling 911. Honked my horn repeatedly until the young couple angrily came out their home. Instantly yelled “your van is on fire!!”. They had an extinguisher and used it all up. The fire still reignited. They poured two pots full of water on the fire before the fire truck arrived. I left after the truck arrived. The van was an old Nissan Quest and it was parked about four feet from the home. The couple said they had just recently bought the van and had just moved into the home. Went back there today and took the photo below.

Rather then VIN I search via vehicle. Try the search by just the year alone or with the word hybrid alone. Then toggle the complaint column to reflect high to low there are patterns, it's interesting. VIN searches only gives your cars results. There are a lot of cars being recalled for fire hazard issues.
