Description of the problem | While my daughter was driving the car less than 10 minutes from home after just starting up for the morning in june 27, 2017 under hood started to smoke, caught on fire, an explosion sound and car burned up . Car had to be put out by fire department. Total loss per insurance company . This car has a engine fire recall and i was told recall work was done prior to sale of the car to me by ford dealer in may 2017. However i now find out that the actual recall part is still not available from ford and that only an inspection was done prior to sale. Not an actual repair. The recall had to do with engine fires ! Maybe all these cars need to be of the road. |
