Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1996 FORD WINDSTAR VAN THAT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, THEN A BOOM AND THERE WERE FLAMES AROUND THE FIREWALL. THE MASTER CYLINDER, WIRING HARNESS, HOSES ETC. WERE DESTROYED. THE FIRE WAS LOCATED MORE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MORE THAN PROPERLY MAINTAINED, AND MY MECHANIC CAN ATTEST TO THIS. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. I WAS NOT INJURED. THIS OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE CURRENT RECALL. *TR
