What owners say
Purchased a 1993 mercury villager from mzn auto sales on january 28, 2005. Was driving down the highway on may 19th, heard a loud noise and people were yelling to pull over that my van was on fire, both sides in flames. Come to find out, there was a recall on this vehicle for fuel related fires and we were not notified by the owner of mzn auto sales of any recalls. They have our van in their possession at this time.
While driving vehicle was involved in a minor collision. Then, vehicle caught on fire without warning.
Though our vehicle is exhibiting the exact symptoms listed under the recall (95c222001), lincoln maintains that our vehicle is not a candidate for that recall. The defect summary says we would smell burning odors when using the heater, which we do. Ph **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**770832
While driving on expressway, tail pipe caught on fire, burned through rear floor of interior cabin and ignited an umbrella. Mr
The vehicle was recalled for "leaf ingestion". Leaves are making their way onto the heating coil and pose a fire hazard. I brought the vehicle in twice for the repair and I still smell burning leaves when I use the heater. I have contacted both the dealer and ford motor company about the on-going problem and both have offered only the original solution. However I believe that the original solution did not resolve the issue. I believe that "leaf ingestion" still is a fire hazard in my vehicle.
A light came on, on the dash board. Then I shut off the engine and opened the hood. The cooling fan was smoking badly and all major wiring in the main electrical were melted to bare wiring. If the circuit fuse had not blown and the light come on, the vehicle could have caught on fire.
This complaint is in regards to the federal safety agency campaign id number 95v222000 and mfg. Campaign no. 95s27. I had the required recall work done at the dealership on 2/27/1996. All foreign material was to be removed from the air intake and a new fresh air screen was to be installed. On 6/24/1999 the entire air conditioning system had to be replaced because the main A/C control unit had burned out. On 8/16/1999 I returned the vehicle to the dealership because of smoke and a burning smell whenever the A/C was used and was advised that leaves and debris had been removed. I returned the vehicle to the dealership on 10/28/1999 because of smoke and burning smell once again when using the A/C. I am very concerned about a vehicle fire and want to know why this problem keeps occurring, especially since it was to have been corrected due to the recall campaign in 1995. I don't want my children hurt by a fire in this car.
While the vehicle was parked in the garage it caught on fire in the electrical storage power distribution. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
