Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I parked our 1997 cougar in the driveway around 5:00p.m. on 07/15/05. i have not been having any problems with the car. about 1:00a.m. on 07/16/05, we were awaken by neighbors who had spotted the car on fire. the firemen said it appeared to be an electrical problem starting on the right side. since it was totally burned, we don't know how to find out what happened. i e-mailed the ford corporate & filled out the information including the vin asking about a recall, but i have not received anything from them except the acknowledgement of receiving my e-mail.
