In January Ford issued a recall of 800,000 vehicles.  But I just heard
from a guy whose car (a 2000 Navigator) caught fire in his driveway a
few days ago.  He hadn't heard about the recall.  That is why I am
mentioning it here.

If you have a Ford with cruise control, it could catch fire.  The fires
originate in the electrical system, and can occur even when the ignition
is OFF.  Many fires have occurred with the car parked at home in the
garage, and some of those have destroyed the whole house.  Have a look
at http://www.flamingfords.info

Be careful.
