Description of the problem	We owned a 2004 lincoln town car. We drove that car that evening, parked it in the garage at 10:45pm and went to bed. At 3:30am, we were awoken by police breaking our door down and flames were shooting out of our garage. The source of the fire was determined to be from the lincoln town car. The town car had no hood after the fire, 2 other vehicles were also destroyed. Our home also caught on fire and approximately 100% of our contents and 50% of our home was destroyed. Luckily, noone was injured. The town car engine was burnt beyond recognition, so they were not able to determine which part was defective, however the insurance co, (american family investigators) determined it had definitely started from the lincoln . They stated that we cannot prove to ford which part is defective so it was not reported to ford.
