This fire was not my fault ! This fire was caused by a faulty plastic brake reservoir unit that leaked on the main wire harness causing a short then a fire. My insurance company paid for the repairs after I paid out $500 dollers for my deductible. I feel that Ford moter should reimburse me my $500 dollars.
