#10125574 | Fire
I RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT SPONTANEOUS FIRES IN FORD MODELS ON CNN. I USED TO HAVE A FORD TAURUS WHICH CAUGHT ON FIRE. LUCKILY WE PUT IT OUT BEFORE IT GOT VERY LARGE BUT THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS BURNT AND IT WAS UNREPAIRABLE.
#8000796 | Fire

#738204 |
1ST REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, NEW PART LASTED UNDER 2 YEARS, NEXT REPLACEMENT WAS JUST UNDER $ 400 AND IT WAS WOBBLY, BUT COULDN'T BE ADJUSTED ANY BETTER. NEW CABLES WERE PUT IN, THE 2ND TIME, THE THIRD TIME, A USED CABLE WORKED BETTER THAN A NEW ONE. ALSO WE HAD OUR MECH. INSTALL A USED SPEEDOMETER, AS THE COST WAS PROHIBITIVE, AND THE DEALER WASN'T ABLE TO FULLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM ANYWAY. HOW CAN A CAR EAT SPEEDOMETERS ANYWAY? THE TICKING SOUND WAS SO IRRITATING, AND THE NEEDLE WAVERD SO MUCH YOU COULDN'T TELL YOUR SPEED. THAT IS UNSAFE, AND UNREASONABLE.

#972896 | Fire
VEHILCE WAS SUPPLIED WITH AN ELECTRICAL HARNESS FOR POWER SEATS, BUT THE MODEL THIS CONSUMER PURCHASED HAD MANUAL SEATS. SOMETHING MADE CONTACT WITH THE OPEN HARNESS, SMOLDERED, THEN BURST INTO FLAMES AND BURNED THE CARPET. DEALER SAID THAT THE FIRE WAS THE FAULT OF THE OWNER. DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE CARPET WHERE IT HAD BURNED. OWNER SUGGESTS THAT UNUSED ELECTRICAL HARNESSES SHOULD BE CAPPED TO PREVENT OBJECTS FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE OPEN CONNECTORS. TT *ML
