“My 1995 Econoline van blew up in my driveway while turned off. It exploded under the hood and a huge fireball went through the cabin. It caught my house and garage on fire, along with my giant oak tree. This is the second Econoline van that has blown up like this in the past five years. Both times we were lucky; no one was in the van at the time. They would have died or been severely burned. Ford accepts no responsibility for this; they were not even interested enough to send out an investigator.”
NHTSA complaint #10093427, filed 2004-10“I brought in vehicle in october/november for routine and asked about head gaskets having a problem with temperature in engine, told everything ok. Now at 118,000 miles in january, told both head gaskets are blown and hit with a $1200.00 bill. Now, my vehicle is overheating again. I know there is an extended warranty on head gaskets 7 years or 100,000, but I had brought my vehicle in previously. To it going over the 100,000. Please help.”

One end of the hose attached to a metal tube near the top of the fill tube and the other is next to the fill tube where both enter the fuel tank. The vent hose developed a major break near the tank. Upon remove of the hose I found that the hose clamp is bonded to the hose at this location (the other was not). …”
NHTSA complaint #742100, filed 2001-03“The contact stated while coming down a ramp and approaching the stop sign at 45mph, the engine made a loud noise. The noise appeared to come from underneath the hood in the engine compartment. The vehicle was displayed that it was going to stall and then stalled. An attempt was made to restart the vehicle however it would not restart. The vehicle was towed to the service dealer who determined that the timing gear was fractured. The service dealer replaced the timing gear. Shortly after the repair, the loud noise underneath the hood returned. …”
