FIRE

Show complaint excerpts

The charge melted, almost caught fire the electrical 110 volt gfi rept in my garage. I created a case with Ford and they say too bad car is out of warranty. My wife and 20 month old son were in the house when the rept started smoking.

NHTSA ODI report, 2018-08-09

Drove the car down a mountain road and somehow managed to regenerate 29 miles on the battery. Thought that very strange as the highest charge or regen achieved prior to this showed 24 miles and did not think the battery could hold that much.

NHTSA ODI report, 2015-04-18

The car is suffering random shutdown and intermittent times. The battery is no longer holding a charge and when it shuts down this places me at extreme risk.
