| Car had been parked in my driveway for five days without use. about 9:00am i moved the car and parked it in the street in front of my house. there was no indication of any problem of any kind. about 45 min. later i was alerted to the sound of a car horn and found the fords horn was honking. when i opened the door to attempt to pull the lever to open the hood there was smoke in the car and a small flame on the left lower corner of the cash. i went to get a fire extinguisher and phoned 911, was gone maybe 30 seconds and when i returned the dash was fully aflame. i then dragged my hose out and by the time @45 seconds later i got the water on, the passenger compartment was fully engulfed. after about 7 min. of me putting water on the fire and it about 90% out the fire department showed up and finished putting it out. the only problems the car had before was the interior lights had quit working from the door in july but still worked from the headlight switch. about a year and a half ago the fuse that fed the radio among other things had blown but when replaced with the same 15amp fuse all had been ok. | |||

| My family and i were on our way to colorado last memorial day weekend and we live in nebraska. as we got closer to the denver region we started having problems with the car stalling. it was a very hot day and i was running the a/c also. so eventually it would cool after about an hour but would only run for a 10-15 miles further down the road. it did get worse the closed we got to the higher altitude parts of denver. the trip would have been great if this problem would not have occured. i have no problems with the car here where i live but i am affraid to drive it out of state again and i bought the car because of the high quality of standards it has set. please help me in any way to fix the issue. thank you. *ak | |||

| In regard to the california judges recall order regarding the engine stall of these vehicle i'm a walking testament that there is a problem with these modules, i was on the freeway in stop and go rush hour traffic when without any warning the car just stopped. my family could of been killed. i believe ford is aware of the problem , i also believe it is probably a simple fix to the solution, but that ford will not own up to it and so that means l will end up paying top dollar to have the module replaced,to insure my family's safety, but ireplacing the module is not the answer. the module should be moved and remounted to a safer and cooler place in the engine. a quick $4.00 fix . ford should offer to do this , but instead they will wait till there have been many accidents and fatalities. before admitting fault. | |||

| Please ask ford motor co. to recall their vehicles with the distributor mounted ignition module. my wife and i purchased a 1994 taurus from my mother three years ago. at that time the car had 14,000 miles on the odometer. in the past three years we have had trouble with our taurus stalling while we were driving for no apparent reason. we took our car to several mechanics in the past three years trying to find a solution to our problem. nothing that we had done ever seemed to fix the problem. finally, this past summer in the hot texas heat the problem became too much to bear. we took our taurus to our local dealership--brinson ford in corsicana, texas. we thought that surely the dealorship mechanics would be able to diagnose our problem. the dealorship told us that they felt our fuel pump was not working correctly. they told us that our pump would probably not last much longer. i questioned their diagnosis since we have had the problem for 80,000 miles. we paid $556 and the problem persisted. for the past three years we have noticed that the problem lessens as the temperatures drop. i am convinced that california supreme court judge michael ballachey has hit the nail on the head. this is a situation involving concealment of dangerous conditions. | |||

| The stalling of my ford had endangered my family on a june vacation trip to san diego. the engine stalled entirely without warning. i was successful in driving the car onto the shoulder of the road, where we were to become the victims of the summer heat. repeated efforts to get the car going were unsuccessful. we were towed to gila bend, az where a mechanic looked at the car the next morning. the problem could not be duplicated at that time. at that time i was not even aware of a design problem with this vehicle. until this defect is addressed, this vehicle is a danger to my family and the vehicle behind me. | |||

| Engine failure - driving on 4 lane highway, car stalled - after several different attempts to find problem, problem was found. the problem was that the teeth on the gear on the bottom of the distributor had broken off. this type of stress failure should not have occurred. the ford company had been notified and would not consider any resolution to this problem being outside the manufacturer's warranty. the other problem that occurred was that the speedodometer had begun to fail.... going from zero to 60 and back after about 5 minutes of driving. a speed sensor had failed. the car was also doing a hard jerking at about 35 miles per hour. ford dealership had told me that the problem was that 2 of the automatic transmission gears were bad and we had them replaced. i contacted the dealership because i had found out ford had many (i mean many) problems with this same problem in all the ford taurus vehicles. still the dealership ford company would do nothing including filing this complaint stating it was outside the warranty. i believe that ford should have backed some it not all of this up considering the mileage and problem history of this vehicle. distributer gears should have never broken off unless the metal compound had been defective. *ak | |||

| When temperature approaches 100 degrees and vehicle has been driven at road speeds approximately 1 hour to 1.5 hours vehicle ignition stalls and engine dies. the engine will not restart until the vehicle cools for approximately 15-20 minutes. if vehicle is driven at moderate speeds, 50-55 mph it does not stall again. first two incidents occurred when vehicle was at idle and beginning accelerating. last incident occurred at road speed in interstate traffic. mechanics at local service station and ford dealer unable to determine cause. it is very unsafe to operate this vehicle when climate conditions exceed 95 degrees until this problem corrected. *ak | |||
