Tfi module sudden failure while driving. Could not restart engine. Fortunately speed was only 15 mph. If i had been at freeway speeds, loss of power steering and power brakes would have been very dangerous.*ak

While driving, the vehicle stalled without warning. *jb

The spring inside the drivers side seat belt failed and as a result the buckle did not lock (buckle serial number 2cm328401 allied chemical). *ak *cb *nlm

Loud popping sound heard. Steering became difficult. Visible failure on right front as tire was turned toward the engine at the top and turned outward at the pavement. Rear upper body frame complete separation by 2 inches, and front upper body frame visible fracture and ready for separation. Engine was resting on the manifold. If the vehicle had been moving any faster than 5mph, there would or could have been serious injury had the engine collapsed completely to the pavement while travelling. I thought it was a universal joint or a failed shock.

Ignition switch and steering wheel column begin to heat up. *ak consumer stated that the dealer refuse to repair the vehicle unless they pay. *yd

I own a 1987 ford crown victoria s/w whose alternator was replaced in 1998 by a ford dealer in dundalk, md. It was replaced with a "ford remanufactured" unit along with the connector. Last week i started the car and drove about 200 yards when i noticed the "amp" light showing red on the dash panel and my wife concurrently yelling "there's smoke coming from under the hood". I did a "u" turn and proceeded to my garage where i opened the hood and saw smoke pouring out from the back of the alternator and then it burst into flames. I doused the fire with a co2 extinguisher but the flames re-appeared. I cut the positive battery terminal cable and the flames became extinguished. The wires on the harness are "cooked".*ak

Consumer was sitting at a stop sign with foot on the brake and vehicle automatically accelerated into the traffic. Consumer stated it had happened several times. *ak
