Consumer Description

WALK OUT TO MY CAR SATURDAY MORNING, BATTERY WAS DEAD. I DECIDED TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. I INSTALLED IT THEN WENT TO A STORE. AS I WAS COMING BACK HOME, A FIRE STARTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. I TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME, BUT THE SMOKE WAS GETTING TO ME, MY WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK. I FINALLY MADE IT HOME BY THAT TIME A FIRE STARTED BLAZING. I YELLED AT MY WIFE TO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. I MANAGE TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB THAT NUMEROUS CARS AS MINE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW COME NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE?? IS FORD JUST A BIG GIANT OF A BUSINESS THAT NO ONE CAN TOUCH THEM. IF IT WAS WASN'T FOR US STUPID PEOPLE BUYING THEIR PRODUCT, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A BUSINESS. *TR
