I only have one experience with a Ford. Bought a brand new E-350 van in 2004. On the way home it burned to the shell 3 blocks front the dealership. Pulled up to a stop light and an ol'lady was screaming at me at the top of her lungs. I ended up jumping out the back doors because as soon as I stopped the flames were licking the door glass. Of course the thing had it's complimentary full tank of gas. I worked at the dealership, and the investigative team from Ford never would tell me what caused it. They gave me another one and it needed an engine at 27k.
