Consumer Description

CAR WAS PARKED UNATTENDED AND CAUGHT FIRE; STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN REPLACED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER AND I DON'T BELIEVE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED BACK IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL NEVER WORKED AFTER THEY REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL. I NEED INFORMATION ON POSSIBLE CONCEALMENT OF THE DEFECT BY FORD IN REGARDS TO THE IGNITION SWITCH OR ANY OTHER DEFECT. A NEIGHBOR'S 1995 TOWN CAR ALSO CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED REFERENCED IN EA02-025
