I had a loose ignition on my 1990 ford taurus in which I could remove my key while it was still running I had this changed while I was having other work done on the car and less then a week later I had a very expensive paperweight because after they placed a new ignition into my car it caught fire while I was driving it burning out all the wiring and destroying the wires connected to my battery. I towed the car to the ford dealer and I had to lay out even more money for them to tell me there is nothing they can do about it. There have never been any fires or recalls and that was that.

On november 20, 1998, I had work done on my car at sheehy ford costing $1100. The next day the car died while being driven on the highway. Ken reed at sheehy ford said it would cost $3000 4000 to repair an engine bearing problem. My husband and I had spent $4000 for car repairs in 1998-on 2/23 waterpump replacement, inspection of fuel system hoses and tubes, on 3/18 fuel pump replacement, 6/12 new pfe sensor, 8/13 replacement alternator and regulator,cooling fan and fusible link , 8/14 replaced alternator and intergrated control module, 11/11 oil change and multipoint inspection and on 11/20/98 another oil change as well as gaskets, seals, hoses thermostat on this date. Sheehy ford refused to reimburse me for part of the monies spent on 11/20 or provide free work on our other car a ford explorer in lieu of cash. I contacted montgomery county division of consumer affairs, and then, the state of maryland consumer protection division. Sheehy ford refused to arbitrate and neither division could prove sheehy was at fault. I had initially called ford customer service and was referred to my dealer. After dealing with the consumer affairs offices , I wrote a letter to jac nasser, ceo of ford. About 6 weeks later in march 1999, I did get a call from a ford rep who refused compensation because I had donated the car january 31, 1999 since it was not driveable. I had the car towed to automation inc. On 1/25/99 and was told the car needed no less than a crank kit, estimate $12-15,000. I believe that whatever sheehy ford did to my car on 11/20/98 caused by car to stop running forever on 11/21. This should not have happened to a car with 65,510 miles that was well taken care of. Has an engine bearing problem happened to anyone else?
