Narrative

The contact's daughter owned a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that an intermittent fuel odor would emit from the vehicle without warning. The contact had inspected the vehicle and did not detect any leaks or defects. The contact stated that while his daughter was stopped in a parking lot, an "engine compartment hot" warning message appeared on the instrument panel as an unknown color smoke began to emit from the vehicle. The vehicle quickly caught fire soon after the smoke began. The fire department arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. The contact's daughter sustained mental anguish as a result of the fire. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent tow yard where it remained in their possession for an investigation. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 2,700.
