#10435303 | Fire
CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR FIVE DAYS WITHOUT USE. ABOUT 9:00AM I MOVED THE CAR AND PARKED IT IN THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM OF ANY KIND. ABOUT 45 MIN. LATER I WAS ALERTED TO THE SOUND OF A CAR HORN AND FOUND THE FORDS HORN WAS HONKING. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR TO ATTEMPT TO PULL THE LEVER TO OPEN THE HOOD THERE WAS SMOKE IN THE CAR AND A SMALL FLAME ON THE LEFT LOWER CORNER OF THE CASH. I WENT TO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PHONED 911, WAS GONE MAYBE 30 SECONDS AND WHEN I RETURNED THE DASH WAS FULLY AFLAME. I THEN DRAGGED MY HOSE OUT AND BY THE TIME @45 SECONDS LATER I GOT THE WATER ON, THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WAS FULLY ENGULFED. AFTER ABOUT 7 MIN. OF ME PUTTING WATER ON...

AFTER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE CYLINDER BROKE IN HALF MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING. NOBODY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. *AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT COMES ON, AND ALL COMPONENTS GO DEAD. TOOK TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID THE NEXT TIME ENGINE CHECK LIGHT COMES ON, DON'T TURN OFF THE KEY. THIS HAPPENED ON THE 13TH OF JULY. DEALER SAID PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE, CONSUMER HAS BEEN OUT OF A VEHICLE SINCE.*AK

DEALER IS SAYING THAT RECALL WAS FIXED (3 TIMES) SO NO "RECALL" EXISTS BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ONGOING AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I GAVE THIS CAR TO MY DAUGHTER IN JANUARY, 2000 AND SHE HAS EXPERIENCED A TOTAL ELECTRICAL OUTAGE TWICE AND HAS BEEN STOPPED BY THE POLICE ON BOTH OCASSIONS. THERE ARE 4 OTHER RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN FIXED AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM FIXED IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT ANY HASSLE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP. *AK

PANEL LIGHTS SURGE AND COME ON AFTER THE KEY HAS BEEN REMOVED AND NO ONE IS IN CAR, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD.

OWNER STATES THAT HIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS PROBLEMS, DASHBOARD LIGHT GOES OUT AND THAT DEALER REPLACED ASSEMBLY BUT HE IS STILL HAVING A PROBLEMS. *AK
