Consumer Description

CAR STALLED ON FREEWAY THEN WHEN FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AND EXITED FREEWAY AT THE VERY NEXT EXIT, CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHEN THE CAR STARTED IT ALSO CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. PULLED INTO VERY FIRST PARKING LOT (APPROX 100FT) CAR STALLED AGAIN BUT BY NOW WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. I EXITED VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED FIRE DEPT. CAR WAS A COMPLETE LOSS. SEVERAL WEEKS TO A MONTH AFTER LOSS OF CAR, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE CAR. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE COOLING FAN THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. MY CAR IS GONE. WHAT DO I DO? FORD IS RESPONSIBLE. HOW DO I GET REIMBURSED FOR MY CAR. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT. I JUST WANT WHAT MY CAR WAS WORTH, NOT TO MENTION MY TIME AND TROUBLE.
