1994 ford explorer FIRE in the power mirror control switch
Had a door fire today. Came from my mirror control switch in the front
door. Had my kids in the car. Got lucky and got out before the fire jumped. Luckily have only a burned out front door. Read that there was a recall from Ford about this condition on this model. Does anybody know if I can hold Ford responsible that they pay for my frontdoor? Thanks. |

I haven't heard of any recalls on this condition but you can PM me with your
VIN and I'll run OASIS to be sure.... The car is 11 years old... surely to God the manufacturer can't be held responsible for any "unauthorized" modifications or repairs.... I had a 12 year old Black and Decker toaster oven go up in flames.... coulda took out my whole house. It was a 12 year old toaster... I dealt with it.

I don't know Jim.
I wouldn't buy anything that said 'after x years, this product may catch fire'. "Jim Warman" > wrote in message news:sfqwe.99124$9A2.75270@edtnps89...

Being realistic, there are few modern products that use fuel of any sort (including electricity) that such a sticker would not be appropriate. Things break. That's reality. -- Bill Funk replace "g" with "a" |

Thanks for all your replies. The recall number is 97V083000 and I got it
from the nhtsa webpage. I called Ford and they give me the expected runaround. Does anybody has a clue what I can do? They can be happy that nobody got killed and I got my kids out in time. |

Have a body shop replace it for you, if you can't do it. H |
