Description of the problem	About two weeks before my car wouldn't go into drive i had it towed to the dealers. They fixed the problem it was a brake switch and solenoid. That needed replacing $300. 00 later its fixed. During the weekend my cruise control light kept flashing. My mother, daughter and i were waiting for my son who was at track practice on monday 4-25-2011. We were waiting in the car and listening to the radio. I started my car to make sure it was going to start. As i started it was full of smoke so i open the hood and there was a little spark fire. I look into my car to find water and i returned to attend to the problem and it was in full flame. I called the fire department to report fire. The parking lot was full of parents and children also waiting for there children. There's serious fire damage under the hood wires and sensors. I have taken pictures as proof. Oil spills from the reservoir. Thank god we were there to stop it from loosing the vehicle and our lives. I wanted to find out information for myself. What i need to do? Is this fords fault for not informing me that there's been thousand of cases of mine. I bought my car less than a year ago. I was never notified of any recalls or faulty wiring let alone car fires??? My kids and i don't know if it's drivable. I haven't drove it since. I am going to ford dealership tomorrow 4-29-11.
