Town Car

  • 161,000 miles
I was driving down a public street not even going the speed limit and I came to the stop light my car acted like it didn't wanna go I got it to a parking spot and it burst to a ball of flames I had no previous symptoms and the car was driving fine it had just gotten to halfway mark on my heat gauge. I think it may have been the plastic intake manifold melted maybe? any ways thought I would report that this is actually a very dangerous thing it almost burnt me alive going down the road and then almost burnt a business down and I'm hoping to get some sort of compensation because no one told me till just now. If I could get some info on who to call at Ford that'd be great

I purchased a obdii/eobd tester and while testing my car it gave me this message, (fuel fired heater disabled). Is this a serious problem/danger if I drive my vehicle. I am 78 years old and never heard of a fuel fired heater.
