I have a 1997 Ford Explorer with 19,000km on it. It caught on fire (transmission overheated) while I was towing a boat rated at about one-half the truck's supposed capacity. Ford has refused to cover the transmission under warranty citing that I must have abused the truck. The fire was on May 1 and I am still waiting for repairs as of June 7 (over $10,000 in fire damage) - I made the mistake of taking the truck to a Ford dealer for the fire repairs. I plan to start another Dead Ford web page among other actions. Please let me know if you have heard any similar horror stories or if you have any suggestions. djk@intergate.bc.ca
