Driving north on minnesota highway 169 at 65mph and notice smoke coming from the engine compartment. I immediately pulled over onto the shoulder and within three minutes there were flames coming from the engine compartment as well as smoke. There was nothing wrong with my vehicle and it was running well when all of a sudden it just started smoking and then it burst in to flames.

My Ford Freestar had the transmission out for torque converter failure. Driving van and suddenly lost power like it was in neutral. It was repaired then about 3-5 months later the van started to run rough and die transmission was shifting crazy had water in the pcm. The dealership repaired van under Ford extended warranty van is very unreliable and I don't take it far from home but I still have to pay for a very poorly engineered car.
