Narrative

WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING OUR 2001 FORD FOCUS THE BATTERY CAUGHT ON FIRE. LUCKILY, HE PULLED OVER AND SOMEONE STOPPED WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR FAULTY BATTERY CABLES. THESE WERE ALREADY REPLACED BY BELL FORD IN PHOENIX. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED AND IS STILL WAITING REPAIRS. *JB
