95 ford explorer parked in carport with engine shut off for 5 min while carried groceries up stairs - I had left dog in crate til finished unloading but when I came down noticed electrical smell, got out looked around car but did not notice any burning, got dog out and returned in three minutes to find key no longer unlocked door and could not see through windows - when door was opened smoke bellowed out, interior was covered with black soot, a hole bigger than a basketball was burnt out of seat and back of driver's seat was parched - had I not had the windows completely up it most likely would have to continued to burn.

I was driving my car when it began to down shift around 35mph. Eventually, after adding more gas, it kicked into gear. My vehicle is an automatic. Once it down shifts, the od light begins flashing on and off. It has now been doing this consistently. The drive is not a smooth drive and when I am going approximately 50-60mph or more, the car begins to shake.

My vehicle 3rd brake light is out all of a sudden don't drive it often and sorely surprise that it would just be completely out. It is expensive to replace and should be operable to the life of the vehicle. As it stands won't pass inspection and should be a recall on it. Thanks
