Fords were known to have their harnesses catch fire.

I realize these are mazda 3's based on a frame inspired by Volvo. Which the electrical was handled by Ford. I read that somewhere and take it with a grain of salt.

Don't know where you read that but you are wrong. The Mazda3 is entirely Mazda.

Can you show me a link about these Ford vehicles "known" to have harnesses catch on fire?

Electrical shorts can happen in any complex electrical system. I'd have the car towed to the dealer and thoroughly checked out...that's what a warranty is for.

I have heard a few ford models with faulty cruise controls. However, your Mazda shares the same technology in the body structure as the European Ford Focus, and Volvo C70/C30/S40, but is made entirely in Hiroshima, Japan by Mazda Motor Company, of which 33% is owned by Ford.

So any problems related to American made Fords have nothing to do with your Japanese Mazda.

How did it catch fire, anyway?

ur still under warranty (depending on the year of your car). but ur gonna ahve to be really specific about the smell.. even the guys at the dealership are retarded and they wont check it unless they know what they're looking for.
