Trunk Wiring Problems of Mercury Sable

On Thursday around 11:30 pm, on sept. 12, 2013, while my 77 year old mother slept her 2008, Mercury Sable premier mysteriously caught fire and burned while parked under her car porch attached to her home. The vehicle was totaled and damage occurred to her home. Were it not for her little dog barking and running back and forth from her bedroom to the car porch door, she likely would not have awaken. She looked out the peep hole of her door to the car porch and say smoke and fire emitting it is very likely her home and she could have been lost in the fire. Although shook up emotionally, we are thankful only her car was lost. Fortunately, my mother remained calm enough to call emergency services (police and fire department) that arrived in very short time to put the fire engulfed vehicle out. According to feedback from the local law enforcement arson investigator and investigators representing our auto and home insurance companies, it appears the fire likely started in the trunk of the Sable in the electrical wiring system or reverse sensing module as I believe it might be referred to for my mother¿s vehicle. The incident had a considerable degree of emotional and psychological impact on my mother given as a senior citizen this vehicle represented a last vestige of freedom and independence. .
