Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN A FELLOW DRIVER NOTICED I HAD FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER MY ENGINE. I PULLED OVER AND DIDN'T SEE ANY FLAMES SO I LIFTED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE FIRE WENT OUT ON ITSELF BUT I WAS STUCK ON THE INTERSTATE AND DIDN'T FEEL SAFE SO I MOVED VEHICLE TO SAFE SPOT. A FRIEND OF MINE SAID THAT IT WAS WEIRD FOR A CAR TO CATCH ON FIRE LIKE THAT SO HE SAID CHECK RECALL FOR VEHICLE. I CHECKED AND THE RECALL STATED THAT A FIRE COULD OCCUR IF THESE SPECIFIC THINGS OCCURRED. CAR WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND VERIFIED OF RECALL. WAITING ON DIAGNOSIS NOW.
