NHTSA complaint: 2013 FORD FUSION — ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY FIANC TO WORK GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND MADE A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AND ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR START TO SMELL LIKE BURNT RUBBER AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE A/C AND UNDER THE HOOD. I TURNED OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND CHECKED THE HOOD. THERE'S WAS FIRE!!! COMING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE VERY GENEROUS BYSTANDERS TO HELP ME PUT IT OUT WITH THE WATER THAT THEY WERE CARRYING. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THAT NO ONE GOT HURT AND THE CAR DIDN'T GO UP IN FLAMES BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PUT IT OUT WITH.
