Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND, WHILE PARKED AT A STOPLIGHT, NOTICED SMOKE BILLOWING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD. I PULLED OVER AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH FLUIDS LEAKING FROM MY ENGINE AND THAT IT WAS HIGHLY DANGEROUS, ROUTINELY RESULTING IN FIRES. MY MECHANIC DIRECTED ME TO A RECALL 12S41 THAT COVERS 2013 FORD FUSIONS AND SAID IT WAS A MATCH. HOWEVER, FORD HAS DENIED MY CLAIM CITING MY CAR WASN'T COVERED WITH THE RECALL. MY CAR ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE (MY MECHANIC THINKS IT MIGHT HAVE BRIEFLY IGNITED) AND I WOULD LIKE THE PROBLEM FIXED BY FORD UNDER THIS RECALL.
