Description of the problem | First i had a fuse blow,that prevented the car from being put into gear. Once the fuse was replaced, it was fine. A week later,while stopping at a gas station,with the car turned off, smoke started coming from the front of the hood. Within minutes the whole engine was on fire. It wasn't until later that i found out that this problem was nation wide! I bought the car from a dealer,that was not a ford dealer, so i received no recall notices! The car was totaled. |
