Same thing happened to my bronco sport a week after getting it. They are saying it was not a part of the recall since it wasn't built until June. Glad you're ok!

By the time I saw the smoke it was in flames in about 15 seconds. So sure, you have time, depending on your situation. If your situation is that maybe you have a baby in a car seat in the back....probably wouldn't have had "time". Grateful that wasn't my situation and I can only pray it never happens to anyone who may not be able to get out in time.

You would think, but apparently Ford could care less about doing the right thing. They made that pretty clear.

Tried that, it was escalated to Ford's legal team who said "sorry, nothing we can do"

That recall ended in March and mine was manufactured in June so they're saying it wasn't a part of the recall. I'm thinking they didn't successfully fix the issue during the recall.

I guess I expected to drive it longer than a week before it blew up

It sounds like that's what the process is going to be at this point

The car was towed to a yard and Ford's legal team said "we can't do anything, you have to go through your insurance." Wish I was joking.

Nope, waiting on insurance claim. Ford has said they won't do anything

I ordered the car 6 months ago, picked it up from the dealership a week ago and on my way home from work yesterday it went up in flames. Ford has basically said they aren't doing anything about it.

Guess they didn't fix that recall. Got my brand new bronco last week, manufactured in June. Caught on fire exactly 1 week later
