KISSIMMEE, Florida (CNN) -- Early this year, Laura Hernandez nudged her husband, Nestor Oyola, as he slept in their Kissimmee home and asked him to put the Ford Expedition he had bought her the day before into the garage.

She did not want to risk leaving it on the street, where it might be vandalized.

"That was my dream, to have a Ford Expedition," she recalled to CNN about the $22,000 Eddie Bauer 2001 model SUV -- green with gold trim and leather seats.

3. Oh goody, my best friend has a '01 Expedition XLT

I'm sure she'll be thrilled to know it's a ticking time bomb.

What's the rate of this with non-Ford vehicles? My father's old Grenada spontaneously combusted, so I'm wondering how much this is an extremely wierd FoMoCo thing and how much this happens with Toyotas or something.
