I hate Fords. All of the Ford vehicles we've owned in our household have been horrendous.
The last one we owned was a '99 Ford Taurus. Get this...the car started leaking coolant, and I traced it to a cracked coolant reservoir
. When I called the parts desk at the local Ford dealership, I asked the salesman if he had any reservoirs in stock. His reply: "Oh yeah, we have a ton of those. They crack all the time!".
I rest my case.

Why do fords always have a fire problem? The LTDs and the Crown Vics had the same problem for years.

Fords have always suffered from bad electrical systems and electronics.
I had problems with the gauges in my 88 Tbird for years and also if you drove with the fogs on for a length of time the head lights would start to cut out. I switched back to GM in 1998 and haven't looked back. Now that one of the Ford Family is now running the show over there Ford may start straighten out. When Nasser was running the show he really messed some things up.
