 1) no previous indication was given of any problem. 2) at 3 am on august 8th, 2005, i was awaken by a neighbor, who having smelled smoke, looked out the window and saw my van on fire. the fire was in the engine compartment, in the area of the brake fluid reservoir, this item having burned, as well as the wire harnesses behind the reservoir, and also the battery cables. the van had been parked in the driveway with the engine off, and no accessories were on at the time. the van is inoperative at this time. 3) i have not done nothing to correct the problem, since it is an obvious manufacturer's defect of some component on the vehicle, this since the vehicle was manufactured, and i would like to have ford motor company assume the responsibility for the subsequent repair. *nm

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
05/15/1999205/01/1995
 This van would be considered a lemon if all of this happened within two years. first the door lock fell out, then the rearview mirror fell off, then the wrong fuse size had been installed and the the car could not started and all electrical systems failed. this all happened in the first year of ownership. after that all the ball joints had to be replaces the following year. after that the brakes failed due to too light a duty brake being installed on a conversion van. in 1998 the transmission started to go out, it has not completely gone out yet. it shudders on light to moderate acceleration. the dealer says it is probably the thrust converter. in june 1999 the fuel pump went out. the dealer said that it had been improperly installed at the factory because of corrosion. the car pump went out on a two lane 6% grade going down hill causing the power steering and brakes to practically fail do to no power. the courtesy lights have now failed and we are unable to turn any of them on. we are worried about an electrical fire due to the short. we want ford to offer to pay for fixing these items. there are many service bulletins regarding all of these things.
