Had noticed smoke filling gauges & then turned black. Had stopped vehicle & smelled smoke. Checked vehicle & dashboard twice before it caught fire. The fire occurred from under the steering wheel/dashboard area.

Part replaced with used parts. Total cost $379.18, took 10 days to get repaired at bay Ford, port orchard, wa, 98366. This failure caused a small fire within the steering column and filled the cab with smoke. This incident endangered the life of my 17 year old daughter. Neither bay Ford (repair facility ) nor Ford customer service would handle this under warranty.
