Consumer Description

I RENTED A 2002 FORD, TAURUS FROM FEB. 22 TO MARCH 8, 2002. THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER POPS COMPLETELY OUT AND FALLS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE AND IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER TRIES TO FIND IT WHILE DRIVING. I TESTED THIS LIGHTER OVER 10 TIMES AND THIS HAPPENED EVERYTIME.
