My car just caught on fire!

[impactblue]

My friend and I were driving down the road when all the sudden flames/sparks shot out between the seat and the center consul. It looked like an upside down bottle rocket launching fire up. Scariest thing that has ever happened in my life and my eyes are burning from all the chemicals/smoke

It got melted plastic up on the windshield and dashboard. All over my belongings

Are there airbags in the seats? Sounds like more takata failures.

im glad everyone is okay. but man I don't know why I laughed when I read the tittle LOL

 

[ruststang94]

It's good no one was hurt. Seat belt pretensioner maybe?

 

[BADSEED]

Imagine driving and all the sudden flames and smoke and your passenger trying to jump out the window

I hope so... I went through this with my gt500. Clutches. Rear ends My windshield wipers shorted out. Motor blew at 9,xxx miles. I'm honestly done with all this car crap

LOL yea it seems like a kind of funny thing. the insurance should cover it though. actually ford should fix you up with a new car at a very decent price. I am sure that they don't like to have the thought of a possible fire lingering on one of their clients.

Maybe they will make it right




I'm happy it didn't burn to the ground

 

[impactblue]

It happened right down the street from the dealer so I rolled up fumes still coming from the car. Told me to come in the morning for service


Maybe ford will keep this one and give me one. Don't even care if it has a few more miles but I know how this is going to go. It's going to keep breaking

 

[H-TownMachI]

I see a recall coming.

 

[Branhammer]

Glad everyone is okay. Things like this make me glad I'm waiting until the spring. I'm hoping most of the bugs will be known by then.

 

[Husker]

Whoa...This is very disturbing...Glad you + your passenger are unharmed.

 

[Alien STI]

Smh..not good.

Ford should fix it at a price of free, no hassles. There should be no need for insurance. Well, that's how I feel it should work out lol.

That's crazy. Wasn't this the car with all the issues to begin with?

seat cover issues. Ford employee curbed the wheels car tells me my hoods open while I'm driving over and over again.

Ford took pictures of seats and agreed to replace the wheels but I haven't had any news about it since the day I took it up there


I only owed 16k on the car I traded in and I wasn't upside down. Now I owe 38k for this thing. If it keeps it up I'm going to try and get them to take it back. My Shelby had one thing after another over and over and over and the dealer would fight me over it constantly saying it's my fault. Don't have the patience. This is my daily driver
