Vehicle fire- i was asleep at 5:00 a.m.,when i was awakened by a loud pop or bang. I thought there was a car wreck in front of the house. I went outside to check on the wreck and found smoke coming out of my carport. I ran into the carport to find my 1995 ford e-150 conversion van on fire under the hood. My family was still asleep so i ran back into the house and woke them up and called 911. I ran back outside to the van, put it in neutral and pushed it into the street away from the house. I put the fire out with a garden hose. The fire department arrived on scene shortly after fire was extinguished. The fire department called a fire investigator to the scene. The fire was electrical in nature. The van had been parked for about 11 hours.the cruise control stopped working about 1 or 2 months before the fire. State farm totaled the van. I would like "ford" to investigate the electrical cause before someone gets killed. If i had been at work my family would have possibly been killed as the fire would have spread to the house.*ph

At approximately 11:45 pm on 03 feb 2006 we drove our 1995 ford e150 club wagon on a local errand amounting to 6-8 city blocks.prior to this errand the vehicle had been sitting "cold" in our carport for many hours.upon our return from the errand (20 minutes), at approx. 12:05 am on 04 feb 2006, we parked the vehicle in our carport and prior to turning off the ignition, smoke appeared from beneath the hood and began to fill the passenger compartment.after exiting the vehicle, we noted flames beneath the engine compartment.a small chemical fire extinguisher was applied, but did not stifle the fire.the van was a total loss to the fire, and "major" property damage was sustained by a neighbor's vehicle parked to our immediate left and the carport structure itself (wood and corrugated steel).another vehicle also sustained "minor" damage.police and fire dept. Reports have been filed.the cause from these official sources is "undetermined".our research has shown that there are current issues with ford vehicle fires that may be related to the cruise control deactivation switch.1995 econoline is a model containing this (or a similar) switch.

I purchased a set of 4 sears guardsman trailhandler ap tires for my 1995 e-150 econoline van on 4/20/98. The car had 36479 miles at the time. In june 2001, the car began handling as though the allignment was out or a tire needed balancing. Turned out that one tire had a tread separation. Iwas advised that it was only necessary to replace the one tire, but replaced a pair instead. Miles at the time: 50184. Took an extended trip (california to missouri) and experienced a tread separation blow-out on one of the remaining trailhandlers from the original purchase. Miles at that time: approx 54000. The blow-out occurred on interstate at highway speed on a left rear tire. The car had begun to ride rough shortly before the blow-out, so i slowed down and positioned myself to get off at the next exit, probably preventing an accident. I swapped out the remaining tires from that set and purchased a different brand of tire.
