What owners wrote
Vehicle was parked in front of grocery store and the engine caught on fire, causing the vehicle to burn completely up. The fire started from the fuel line.
Was driving the 98 expedition we just bought and the spark plug blew and broke the coil off. Which come to find out could have even caught fire. With me having 7 kids to put in car that is more then a little worry for me and I risk my kids life putting them in this vehicle and not aware that this motor does this and can cause such a bad risk. There for ford should have to pay some how for the lives they could have taking.
