Ford — Fiesta goes up in flames

Hi - We were driving to Noida in our Ford Fiesta this Sunday On July 15 when the car abruptly came to a halt and the next thing we knew - there was a loud explosion and the entire car bonnet was on fire. And by fire I mean the entire front of the car was engulfed in flames at least 8 feet high. Even as me and my husband pulled out my 5 year old son from the burning car, we realized that the entire road jam packed with cars was at risk in case there was any explosion. Thankfully, the fire did not spread beyond the bonnet and nobody got hurt but it took the better part of the next hour to fully extinguish the car using armfuls of mud. I really thought it was a one off incident but when I checked the internet, these cars are going off like bombs.
