Will this buff out?

[Leishman]

Driving to work while on a conference call. There was ‘pop’ from the engine. The dash lit up with ‘engine failure’ and I coasted to the shoulder. I saw smoke and texted the wife a photo. I politely excused myself from the call and noticed flames by the windscreen. I grabbed my two bananas, two phone chargers, both phones and my work folder and got the F out. 911 said move back 100’, I was already at 200’! The rest you see in the photos. When it was all over I went back and got my two umbrellas (always carry a spare people, never know when you need to help someone out) my hand sanitizer, essential worker letter and my very wet insurance papers. Good times.

Rub some dirt on it and it’ll be good as new.

Good luck!!

Thank goodness you got the hand sanitizer out. The value of that could buy you a new car these days.

Just had a full service ~5 weeks ago. New brakes, new battery. So happy I didn’t fill her up this morning. Decided to do that on the way home.

What year was your Escape? I found this https://www.krohnandmoss.com/safety...icles-may-catch-fire-or-crash-without-warning

I would be contacting Ford, not that I think they will help you out/pay for your car but it might be a safety issue they need to be aware of.

FORD = Found On Road Dead seems to fit in this case.

Glad your OK OP!
