Description of the problem | Walk out to my car saturday morning, battery was dead. I decided to buy a new battery. I installed it then went to a store. As i was coming back home, a fire started on the inside of the passenger side. I tried to make it home, but the smoke was getting to me, my windows wouldn't work. I finally made it home by that time a fire started blazing. I yelled at my wife to get a fire extinguisher. I manage to put out the flames. I have read on the web that numerous cars as mine has had the same problem. How come nothing has been done?? Is ford just a big giant of a business that no one can touch them. If it was wasn't for us stupid people buying their product, they wouldn't have a business. |
