Consumer Description

FIRE OCCURED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE. FORD SAYS THEY WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE AND WOULD NOT COMPENSATE FOR REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLE. INSURANCE WILL ONLY COVER MARKET VALUE WHICH DOES NOT REPLACE MY CAR. PLEASE ADVISE AS FAR AS LEGAL RECOURSE. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING EITHER. IN THE MEAN TIME I CANNOT PURCHASE A SIMILAR VEHICLE FOR THE BLUE BOOK VALUE.
