What owners wrote
Drove car about 4 miles. No problems. When parked it was smoking real bad under hood then caught on fire. Fireman said it was electrical. It gave no warning. As I looked on this website I have seen that I am not the only person that has had this happen. My car is totaled and I am without a vehicle. Now what will ford do about that? I could have been killed. Thank god I wasn't.
Dt: the contact stated water was leaking inside the vehicle on the passenger's side. The gaskets that hold the windshield were severed. The manufacturer has been contacted. Updated 2/7/2006 -
