my friend had a escort. he dropped it off at the dealer for a valve cover repair, when he got it back he made it 5 or 6 miles and it stalled and would not fire back up, he walked to a pay phone 1/2 a block away and was calling a tow truck, then he looked back and was like sorry, i need to call the fire department its on fire now!!!!
total loss. the dealer left the fuel lines loose or some crap. could have killed him, and this fool goes and buys a used car for what the dealer said was a fair price lol it should have been a free car, no charge at all. he lost his car due to their poor workmanship, nothing else.
