smithl3 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 That is perfect for all the ford fans in my office, they all got a nice little e-mail with this attached. haha. Honestly though that is pretty scary to know it happens at random because of a possible cruise control switch malfunction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_a_n_payne Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 The same thing happened three houses down from my house and it happened again around one of my friends houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshift Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 We have a Ford lover here too... I printed and left it on his desk. His Ford is ALWAYS better, but he's too chicken$hit to run me... LOL... Even when I was stock. WW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 As if we needed a reason not to buy a Ford. Ford is a four letter word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big O Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 New meaning to burning the competition <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm pretty sure a burning F150 should make it onto the new shirts .. ** that is if no one has died or gotten seriously injured from this ...

ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Thats definately something ford has to fix, nobody wants their car or truck to spontaneously combust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZX9R Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Maybe they should have called the F-150 ....................... A Blazer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDO517 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 You guys remember the FORD PINTO???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smit Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Yea, the Ford Pinto used to burst into flames if you looked at it crosseyed. Up here in NY the troopers use Crown Vics. They've been catching fire from rear end collisions. A common occurance if you patrol the thruways much. The troopers don't want the Fords anymore. They're pegged as death traps. Most of the troopers I've talked to preferred the old Caprices. Rugged and faster than the Fords. GM needs a rear wheel sedan for law enforcement.

Dylan06SS Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 (edited) My inlaws are die hard Ford people (makes dinners over there interesting) My father-in-law always makes a point to mention how safe Fords are b/c they are thoughtful enought to install a fuel pump kill switch that triggers at impact. My response to that is that it wasn't "thoughtful" it was a way to keep fire related fatalities down Don't hear about any chevy's bursting into flames! He has already been e-mailed a copy of that article! Edited January 15, 2005 by dylanvonkleist (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky-raptor Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I was at the LA Auto Show on Friday, and here are a couple of pics to show how cheap Ford is: Bolted Exhuast Tip Simulated Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonm Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 This is not the first time this has happened with Ford though. I remember about 8 or 9 years ago Ford had a major recall because the ignitions would cause a fire. This was a 3 stage recall, as it affected most every car and truck from the 80s into the early 90s.
