NHTSA complaint: 2007 FORD FOCUS — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AROUND DOWN TOWN LOS ANGELES THE 2007 FORD FOCUS THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT THEN THE ENGINE STALLED. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AREA. 911 WAS CALLED AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS GOING TO APPRAISE THE DAMAGE ON WEDNESDAY 3-3-2010. BUT I AM PRETTY SURE THAT IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR
