Consumer Description

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2005 FORD MUSTANG YESTERDAY WHEN IT BURST INTO FLAMES. HE WAS PULLING ONTO I 95 WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. HE COULDN'T EVEN MAKE IF OFF THE DRIVING AREA WHEN IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE IT STOPPED BLACK SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT. HE JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR AND RAN AWAY FROM IT WHEN IT BURST INTO FLAMES. THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. NEVER EVEN MISSED AN OIL CHANGE. NO WARNING SIGNS OF ANY ISSUES. I AM THANKFUL THAT MY SON IS SAFE BUT VERY UPSET AT THE FORD CAR AND HAVE NOW READ MANY FORD FIRE ISSUES THAT FORD HAS NOT CORRECTED. *TR
