The website seems to exaggerate a good deal (don't have ANY Ford with a cruise control anywhere near where you sleep, even if it's not one of the recalled models - Ford electrical engineers no good, etc.) but that's normal for internet crusades. When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Similar websites exist for almost every make and model out there . . . e.g. GMLemonCars.com, the first one I found.
Agreed, but it had a pretty good capsule description of the manifold problem.
You didn’t answer my question, though - you do know why they go up in flames, right?
