Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1994 ford taurus sho. car was sitting idle not running for hours and suddenly started on fire. approximently 1 month before this the cruise control just stopped working. all wiring is completely damaged and the motor is non repairable. the fire was from under the hood, drivers side, near the front windshield. the fire department said it started behind the firewall. i have seen on the news and heard on the radio that a faulty cruise control may have caused this damage. my car is a total loss. i have called 1-888-327-4236, and they say there has been no recalls on it. why, may i ask, would it have been on the news and radio if there were to be no recalls? my car is still setting where the fire took place. i have been waiting for some kind of answer involving this issue. nothing has been done to try to fix it, many have looked at it and said "you know there is a recall on this make and year, check into it". so i am filing a complaint, hoping i can get some answers to my questions. thank you....
