ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THE MILLIONS OF PROBLEMS FORD HAS HAD WITH THEIR IGNITION SWITCHES. THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM BY ANY MEANS. ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT CARS KNOWS FORDS IGNITION SWITCHES HAVE BEEN PROBLEMATIC, TO SAY THE LEAST. THEYRE FAMOUS FOR THIS. ITS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. NOT A SECRET. ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR 30 YEARS THAT I KNOW OF AND FRIENDS TELL ME STORIES OF EVEN EARLIER THAN THIS. FORDS IGNITION SWITCHES TEND TO EITHER HAVE STALLING PROBLEMS OR THEY TEND TO CATCH FIRE. SERIOUSLY, WHY IS THERE A SAYING FIRE ON ROAD DAILY?*AK
