On saturday july 23, 2005, my 1998 lincoln navigator caught on fire from underneath the hood. At the moment it is at the repair shop, but it is said that there is no repair, it is burned completely. Thank god there was no injuries, but in hearing about the cruise control deactivation fires. I was concerned that my vehicle could of had this type of accident.
Vehicle was parked for about 3 minutes when all of a sudden vehicle caught on fire. This seemed to have been a similar problem to the one mentioned in ford recall 05v17oooo regarding the cruise control switch.
