What owners wrote
This specific car model is a 2016 Shelby GT350 tech package that I owned for at least 7 months. In this time period i had only put 7k mikes on it before it blew up. After doing tons of research there is a tons of class action law suits against Ford for these cars. The incident that occurred was while driving the vehicle caught fire on the passenger side. Driving at the speed limit of 40 MPH no warning lights, Check engine lights or anything it just blew up.
Car stalled randomly while driving down the highway. Pressed the gas and would not do anything. Was able to pull in a lot to get out of traffic. Car would not start again. Full accessory power was active. Mechanic said fuel pump and module. Car has 46000 miles. Fuel pump should not fail in a 3 year old car.
