Consumer Description

THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. SMOKE AND SMALL FLAMES STARTED UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. WITHIN MINUTES OF STOPPING, THE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES. MY GRAND DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING..SHE AND HER PASSENGER WERE NOT HURT LUCKILY. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL FROM FORD ALTHOUGH WE DID RESEARCH AFTER THE FIRE AND THEY DID HAVE PROBLEMS WITH FIRES. OUR INSURANCE DID AN INVESTIGATION BUT THE CAR WAS BURNED SO BADLY THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE ORIGIN.
