What owners wrote
Left my house drove 5 miles, stopped to sisters house to drop off an item, 2-3 minutes later walked outside and found flames coming out of the hood on the passenger side near windshield. Barely able to open door quick enough to get my purse out and it was engulfed. Woke up a neighbor who came over with a truck to drag it away from house and garage. Wasn't for him my sisters house would been lost as it took 25 minutes for fire department to show up. Only thing not burned is the taillights.
Tamara recall my ford fusion make a 'frat' noise/sound that comes from the gas tank. When the noise starts the engine will narely idle and sometimes dies. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is being driven down the road or just sitting idling. One time I was pulling out from a stop sign when this noise started and the car died with oncoming traffic coming right at me. Other times it's just an annoyance an the engine runs fine.
