While driving on the interstate the vehicle stalled when I tried to restart the car I pulled off the road and this when I noticed fire coming out from above the right front tire this car was manufactured with a fiberglass hood which is very flamable the hood caught fire which caught the top on fire which fell into the interior which caught fire and resulted in a total loss of vehicle if this was a wreck and I was trapped in the car when the engine and hood caught fire this would have resulted in a loss of life, ford should not have installed a fiberglass hood on a convertable ,when I contacted them about the fire they were very cold and seemed to not care that a car they built with only 25,000 miles on it burst into flames while being driven down the road.
