I rented a 2002 Ford, Taurus from Feb. 22 to March 8, 2002. The cigarette lighter pops completely out and falls under the passenger seat. This can cause a fire and it can cause a serious accident if the driver tries to find it while driving. I tested this lighter over 10 times and this happened everytime.
