ON JUNE 8, 2005 MY HUSBAND, DAUGHTER AND I WERE ON VACATION. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A ONE WAY, ONE LANE ROAD IN GATLINBURG, TENNESSEE AT ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. THE EXPLORER MADE A STRANGE NOISE AND WHEN MY HUSBAND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP THE EXPLORER FILLED UP WITH SMOKE ON THE INSIDE. WE GOT OUT AND THEN SAW THAT THE EXPLORER WAS ON FIRE. FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDER THE EXPLORER AND SHOOTING OUT THE GRILL. IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES THE ENTIRE SUV WAS COMPLETELY CONSUMED BY FIRE. WE ASSUMED AT THE TIME THAT THE CAUSE MUST HAVE BEEN A FLUID LEAK SOMEWHERE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OFFICAL SAID THAT THE EXPLORER HAD BURNED SO COMPLETELY THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE…
