What owners wrote

On august 16, 2017 I rented a 2017 ford edge from alamo at the savannah, ga airport. On august 18, 2017 while en route from savannah to charleston, sc I was stopped by a police officer on highway 17 near yamassee, sc. While on the shoulder with the car running but stationary, smoke began coming out of the car. Myself and my family evacuated and within 5-10 minutes the entire car was engulfed in flames.

August 2017 Fire

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to coast to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who determined that coolant intrusion into the cylinder bores had damaged the short block, requiring the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired.
