| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1994 ford tempo gl. my husband's car went up in flames and smoke yesterday while driving it, the fire department and police came and put it out. the car is a total loss, as well as the jacket my husband was (fortunately) wearing when the flames came shooting out from the engine area into the driver's seat. a friend of mine suggested that i check if others had this problem, and i came across this site. it looks like others have had this problem, if the nhtsa campaign 97v019000 is an indication of such. as far as i know, we were never notified that some ford tempos were potential fire traps. my husband could have been severely burned, but fortunately, his jacket took the brunt of the flames. *jb |
