| A recall was initiated 6 months ago for faulty fused wiring harnesses on many ford/mercury/lincoln vehicles. the recall began on august 13, 2007. this recall was the subject of an engineering analysis, ea05-005, conducted by the office of defects investigation. 07v-336. in the fall of 2007 dealers told owners that the repair parts would not be available until december 2007, now dealers are telling owners that the part is still not available and projected that it won't be until march 2008. why has ford been allowed to drag it's feet for 9 months on repairing a safety hazard? when can owners expect to have a properly restored vehicle? *tr | |||

| My car, a 1994 lincoln town car, caught fire and burned sitting in my drive with the engine turned off. i had parked it and turned the engine off 5 1/2 hours earlier before the incident. the car was a total loss there was an explosion( i suppose it was due to one of the tires blowing out) that threw some debris from one of the parts that burned into the side of the house causing a hole in the siding on my house and the heat from the fire also buckled the vinyl siding on my house.. i have reported this incident to ford motor company, but they do not seem too interested in investigating to see what caused the fire to start. i am including pictures of the burned car and a copy of the fire department's report. *nm | |||
