Consumer Description

I OWN A 92 FORD TAURUS, AND RECENTLY IT CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDER THE DASH BOARD...I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON DEFECTS FOR FORD IGNITION SWITCHES...I HAVE FOUND MANY DOCUMENTS ABOUT CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS FOR OTHER OWNERS OF FORD VEHICLES FROM 1983-1995...I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS BEING A DEFECT IN MY CAR AND BELIEVE THAT FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIRE IN MY DASHBOARD...I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS STILL POSSIBLE FOR RECALLS/DEFECTS AND WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *JB
