While driving thermostat went from regular temperature to hot. After vehicle was turned off by itself a few times it caught on fire.

August 2002 Fire

At 40,000 miles on my 2000 focus wagon, dealer tells me that the clunking noise I hear from front and rear will be fixed with a new front tie rod and rear shocks. Visited dealer 3 times to fix a windshield washer leak into tailgate, filling light fixtures and seeping into rear of car. I have had my fan motor replaced and my rear door latches are not working correctly. All of many recalls have been addressed, we even received 4 new tires due to tread wearing. It took many trials to get a correct alignment.

Reported at 41,500 miles, June 2003
