My whole car burned and I suspect the power steering fluid reservoir.

I have the noise and had my dealership check it out, the sa told me it's normal. I was the first to post about this noise years ago.

Sorry to disillusion you, but there is no way this survey will provide enough information to mean anything...certainly not about a recall. First, the target audience is not a random selection. Second, many of the folks on this site have modified their vehicle. Third, the response to the survey can not be audited. Fourth, you can not get a statistically significant sample (in the eyes of enumerative statisticians that is).
But still an interesting pole..FWIW.

Statman, you are right, I am speculating about Dave's fire. I guess I jumped to conclusions based on the thread speculating that the power steering pump caused the fire. I better wait for the official call.

1. fire shot out from the back...... likely a fluid..either gas or psf
2. the right side of the car is more melted than the left and the car was pulled over on the right with a relative steep incline to the shoulder....so if the fire was central the left side should be "more melted"....suggesting the fire was a fluid on the right and not the left.....
Just my observations.
