THE REAR END/DIFFERENTIAL OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING. REVIEW BY DEALERSHIP WHERE TOWED TO SO FAR INDICATES NO APPARENT PARTS FAILURE IN THE REAR END, ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND/OR TRANSFER CASE, AND BECASUE FULL-TIME 4WD, MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED. REGARDLESS, DEALERSHIP IN FAIRFAX, VA, WHERE BOUGHT, DID NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM WHEN TAKEN FOR SERVICE TWICE IN PROCEEDING TWO-THREEE MONTHS W/COMPLAINTS REGADING THE FRONT END "BINDING" DURING TURNS. FIRE WAS COOKING THE GAS TANK, HAPPILY, A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS AVAILABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE BEFORE THE CAR BURNED UP. FIRE DEPT (GETTYSBURG, PA) DID FOLLOW-UP EXTINUISHING, ETC. POLICE ON THE SCENE. REPORTED HERE BECAUSE I'VE HEARD DIFFERIANTIAL FAILURE NOT UNCOMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THE FIRE UNDER THE GAS TANK WAS CERTAINLY IS A MAJOR HAZARD.
