On 21 january 2001, while idling, a fire started in the engine compartment, causing cabon monoxide to enter the passenger compartment, killing my son. The fire then entered and slightly burned his body before the fire department extinguished the fire. The virginia state police and ford motor co. Supposedly investigated but I have not received a report from either agency.
