WE HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE ABOUT ONE MILE FROM THE BEACH TO A RESTAURANT, WHERE WE PARKED AS USUAL AND ENTERED TO DINE. WE HAD BEEN IN THE RESTAURANT APPROXIMATELY 15 - 20 MINUTES WHEN THE WAITER ANNOUNCED THAT THERE WAS A "CAR ON FIRE" IN THE PARKING LOT. MY FAMILY AND I, ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE IN THE RESTAURANT, RUSHED OUTSIDE, WHERE I WAS HORRIFIED TO SEE MY LINCOLN NAVIGATOR SURROUNDED BY POLICE CARS AND ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I HAVE PHOTOS ON MY PHONE IF NECESSARY. THE FIRE HAD VERY OBVIOUSLY STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND PROBABLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AS THE FRONT TIRE ON THAT SIDE HAD MELTED AND WAS FLAT, BUT THE OTHER TIRES WERE ALL INTACT. I HAVE SINCE BEEN MADE AWARE OF A FAULTY SWITCH RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL THAT CAN CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS. I AM ALMOST CERTAIN THAT WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN AND HAD THAT RECALL DEALT WITH YEARS AGO. I WILL SEARCH FOR PAPERWORK. I REMEMBER SOME REPAIR BEING DONE AT THE DEALER, BUT I CANNOT REMEMBER IF IT WAS A RECALL OR JUST SOMETHING THEY CONTACTED US TO RECOMMEND BEING REPAIRED. EITHER WAY, MY PARKED VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE WHILE I DINED. *TR

IT SEEMS THAT THIS ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE ALREADY WAS RAISED AND DISMISSED. HOWEVER, I VERY MUCH WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTIGATION RE-OPENED BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS UNDER REPORTED. I OWN A 1999 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AND EVERY TIME IT RAINS, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WINDOWS AND LOCKS STOP WORKING. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I SLOWED DOWN TO ALMOST A CRAWL AND SUBSEQUENTLY WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE. THEY HELPED ME TO PULL MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL IT STOPPED RAINING BEFORE I CAN DRIVE BACK HOME. NO DOUBT THAT THIS IS A HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT FOR OTHER MOTORISTS AS WELL. THE VERY NEXT DAY, I GOT IN MY TRUCK, TURNED THE IGNITION, THE TRUCK STARTED HOWEVER IT DID NOT REMAIN STARTED. IT WAS AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A LINCOLN DEALERSHIP, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A WINDSHIELD LEAK AND IT LEAKED ON THE GEM MODULE AND FUSE BOX HARNESS AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I TALKED TO A AUTO GLASS EXPERT WHO TOLD ME THAT EVENTHOUGH THE DEALER WAS STATING THAT THE LEAK IS FROM THE WINDSHIELD, IT IS NOT. ACCORDING TO HIM, HE HAS TAKEN OUT, RESEALED AND REINSTALLED WINDSHIELDS ONLY TO HAVE THOSE CUSTOMERS COME BACK VERY ANGRY DUE TO THE LEAK STILL OCCURED. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED BY FORD EXPEDTION OWNERS, HOWEVER I DON'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE THAT COMPLAINTS FROM NAVIGATOR OWNERS WERE CONSIDERED AND/OR INVESTIGATED. IT'S INTERESTING THAT I AM HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT WITH A DIFFERENT MODEL OF FORD/LINCOLN. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THIS ISSUE DESERVES A SECOND LOOK. FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A COSTLY ($1,800.00) REPAIR, IT IS MY PRAYER THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL STEP IN AND MAKE THIS AUTO MAKER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ISSUE A RECALL AND HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED, IT MAY NOT BE LEAKAGE FROM THE WINDSHIELD, AND SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED. I ASK THIS IN SAFETY OF ALL OF US. EVEN IF I TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN, SOMEONE ELSE, JUST LIKE ME, WILL PURCHASE THIS DANGER. *TR
