- Ford Escape Engine Fire Recall
The 2013 Ford Escape was recalled over concerns of engine compartment fires. The company is now accusing a supplier for the defective parts. Owners of 1.6-liter EcoBoost-Equiped Escapes were warned to stop driving their cars due to the possible engine compartment fires that can erupt. Ford says defective fuel lines from supplier TI Automotive are causing the fires.
Three 2013 Escapes caught on fire, with two occurrences involving Ford employees, fortunately, there were no injuries. According to The Blue Oval, fuel lines supplied by TI Automotive were “mechanically scored,” which could cause them to come apart and leak fuel onto hot engine components.
There’s a total of 11,500 cars in the U.S and Canada, 4,800 of them have been sold. Ford is sending dealer reps with loaner cars to owner’s home. The recalled escape will be towed because of possibility of eruption.
TI Automotive has corrected the problem and, according to Ford, will continue manufacturing fuel lines for the escape.

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

They knew exactly how to explain the case to me in a way that I would understand it. They gave me hope that my life wasn’t over.

I want to thank attorneys Tim and Robert and the paralegal Bethany for all they had done on my case. They were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. All my questions were answered, emails returned in a timely matter, and promises fulfilled. I recommend Phillips Law Group if you need help with your injury case.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.
