Fuel Injector problem #1

Without any warning the vehicle stalled on the highway while driving 60 mph. The incident occurred four times since the consumer has owned the vehicle. Vehicle has been towed to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the injector driver module was the problem. This module was positioned in a way that moisture could seep in, causing the ipm module to fail. Response from dealer and manufacturer was poor.

Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem #2

My Ford e-150 van, after being driven about 1 hour earlier, burst into flames while parked in my driveway. A forensic investigation identified the speed deactivation control switch located on the master brake control cylinder. This is the same switch as in 93 Lincoln towncars and many other Ford cars and trucks. It was designed by texas insturments to be wire as switched but Ford installed it as wired always hot. Please investigate. This will cause millions of dollars of property damage and could injure many people. These vehicles can burst into flames at any time or in anybody's garage. Please contact me if you would like a copy of the forensic report I paid for. Thanks, and please don't park your Ford in your garage.
