Body problems of the 2001 Lincoln Town Car

I was driving the Lincoln Town Car when I began to smell what appeared to be gas or some fluid coming into the vehicle. I stopped the car and parked in a driveway and inspected the bottom of the car where there was no leak but a strong odor of gas or some fluid. I then started the car and put into reverse and with my foot applied to the brake backing up in reverse there was a loud pop in the engine and the car shut off followed by smoke and then fire. The car then set on fire and burned for about 20 minutes before the fire fighters arrived to put the car out. It was totaled.

Water accumulates on floor front and rear. Passenger sidethe car can be in motion or stationary during rain or going through car wash. We had a 2001 towncar with the exact same problem. After googling this issue I find there are many autos with this problem. What we spend for these autos this should have been resolved by manufacturer years ago!.

My family and I own 4 Lincoln Town Cars. Years of them are 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008 and everytime it rains a lot of water gets into to front right passenger side. I'm guessing the frame isn't welding correctly or all the way. Also my friend said he's 2003 licoln Town Car accumulates water too when it rains a lot. Please check into this issue to see what the real problem is, which the water might cause electrical issue or other safety hazards of the frame isn't welded correctly.
