Returning to tn from vacation in fl on 7/15/12. Traveling before birmingham, al - heard a loud boom sound (like a tire blow out), then heard a roar. As we signaled to move from the fast lane to the emergency lane - flames were over the back window of the car. By the time that we reached the emergency lane, the entire car was engulfed in flames both inside and outside. The car was entirely engulfed in flames within 10 to 20 seconds. I had purchased the car from moss motor company in south pittsburgh, tn on 6/4/12.
Due to the failure of the throttle body, the car engine quits at various speeds or will not accelerate and stalls with on coming traffic. When this happens, the cars power brakes and steering fail to work creating a very unsafe event. Ford has had hundreds or thousands of problems with this according to the local dealership, if fact they have several cars waiting for parts (throttle body) to repair in their back lot.
