:doh: I guess someone doesn't get how corporate America has worked for half a millennium or has never run a business- pure cost/benefit. No one is complacent, but everyone wants everything perfect as cheap as possible which simply does not exist; and sometimes things happen that are purely by chance and outside anything anyone could have ever reasonably seen happening or prevented.The lack of integrity with this whole situation is absurd. Never accept the answer that the "system" is to blame...that's an excuse for complacent people.
Makes absolutely no sense what you wrote above. Hose could have wiggled off, but new decent designer needs to make sure that if it does, it's not going to cause the fire. If he/she didn't, then it's their fault. Quite basic thing in the design world.:doh: I guess someone doesn't get how corporate America has worked for half a millennium or has never run a business- pure cost/benefit.

I can think of numerous examples where no one is at fault nor the product is defective. It could have very easily been somethign as simple as a hose clamp that was put on properly at the factory wiggled off under vibration of the engine and the hose popped off. No one's fault at all, and it was installed properly.
All I have seen is wild speculation and bad assumptions by a bunch of "know it all opinions" who want to throw blame around. Again, my suspicion here is that the cost to investigate 1 incident out of 75,000-100,000 sold doesn't make any financial sense.
So where was this car serviced at? Which dealer in MD?No. The insurance is totaling the vehicle. Won't here from ford for another 3 weeks is what the rep told me.

Wow no word from Ford? That is disgusting.
I would contact a lawyer ASAP.
Either Ford or the dealership did something very wrong that jeopardized your life! I would be furious!!
It was just a hypothetical not a real world example.Makes absolutely no sense what you wrote above.

Worked aircraft engines for 15 years, do you really thing that if aircraft crashed, people / NTSB / FAA would accept an explanation that it's was just a hose that wiggled off and fire was just a consequence so it's really not our fault ? Really ?
HUH???Yowser, glad the OP escaped this okay but that whole situation is something that can stick with you for a long time.
Since every other idiot on the planet has chimed in it must be time for this one to opine.
FoMoCo is not the same as your friendly neighborhood Ford dealer, legally. Of course, that depends on the issue at hand, the state in which you reside, the weight of a leprechaunās pot of gold, the price of tea in China and a bazillion other things. None of that really matters here, though, because while there is only one person here with a fiduciary interest in this matter there are 7266 other members on this forum providing a gateway to the court of public opinion. That court is in fact the largest known to mankind - numbering in the billions and capable of delivering swift justice however they deem fit. If a new car catches fire for no apparent reason, nobody gives a shit if your local Ford isnāt really Ford and if the Ford in Detroit isnāt really your local Ford. Ford had a PR nightmare with the Pinto long before stupid people had access to the internet. Did customers walk into Ford dealerships and praise the employees for not being directly employed by FoMoCo and politely ask to be shown a vehicle that didnāt explode when tapped in the ass? Ralph Nader could have gave a flying f**k if the Chevy dealer wasnāt really Chevy (I hope he doesnāt read this forum because the thought of him rubbing one out to this thread may be more than I can take). But you could be damn sure the dealerships didnāt like that the blue hairs looking for a sedan didnāt know the difference between a Corvair and Corvette.
Why in the hell do people think that, because a car has 6,000 miles on it, it couldnāt possibly be a design fault or manufacturing defect that causes a car to catch fire? Hmmm, the warranty is for 36,000/60,000 miles but that only covers premature wear and tear, right? It says right in the fine print that all fires, explosions, brake failures and fluxes in the space-time continuum happen before the first oil change. Apparently, if something bad happens to a car after it leaves the state of Michigan it must be the ownerās fault or some nefarious, dipshit grease monkey is to blame.
Granted, it is very difficult to prove liability, negligence and cause & effect in a situation like this ā particularly since it was a fire. The āfire scienceā taught to investigators and relied on for the last 50 years has been exposed as mostly hokum and efforts to gain new understanding are just getting started. And who knows, maybe Stone Phillips took one of the incendiary devices planted on the GMC trucks and had a little fun with the OP. Maybe an ex-girlfriend is trying to do him in. Maybe FoMoCo should look up the concept of āres ipsa loquiturā and realize the onus is on them at this point. Maybe they already haveā¦ or maybe they donāt care yet.
Equine fact: some Mustangs are in fact Pintos but not all Pintos are in fact Mustangs.
Sounds like schizophrenia.HUH???
