Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I feel that this problem was caused by poor engineering by ford motor company. i have contacted ford motor but they refuse to take responsibilty. this fire was not my fault ! this fire was caused by a faulty plastic brake reservoir unit that leaked on the main wire harness causing a short then a fire. my insurance company paid for the repairs after i paid out $500 dollers for my deductible. i feel that ford moter should reimburse me my $500 dollars. my insurance company refuses to pursue the matter. ford motor refuses to take action unless my insurance company talks to them. my hands are tied. i'm just a consumer fighting two giants. thanks for takeing the time to hear my complaint. mike n.*ak
