Today, "Ford truck fire problems
widen; More Fords have suspect switch" |
The
cruise-control switch that led federal officials
in March to begin investigating 3.7 million Ford
pickups and SUVs because the switch was linked
to engine fires is on at least 6 million additional
Ford vehicles, the company acknowledges.
So far, no engine fires
have been definitively linked to the cruise-control switch in the seven additional
models, including the 1997-2002 Explorer and the 2001-02 Escape. But the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration is monitoring reports of fires in those
vehicles and could expand its investigation to include some or all of them, according
to two people with direct knowledge.
Models in addition to
the Explorer and Escape, Ford says, are: the 1997-2002 Mercury Mountaineer, Ford
Ranger, Econoline, Windstar and Explorer Sport Trac. |

|
| The
law of most states protects persons injured by the
wrongful conduct of another or by products that were
defectively designed, manufactured or labeled. A personal
injury lawsuit may be filed for pain and suffering
caused by the wrongful conduct or the faulty product. |
