problem #1

2009Jan 21

Explorer LXT V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles

Car was driven 20 minutes, then parked. After 30 minutes, the horn started blowing. When we looked outside, the vehicle was engulfed in flames. Fire appears to have started about the location of the cruise control. Vehicle was a total loss.
