Ford Kuga (EU) / Escape (US) is built from those patents. It’s basically a copy of Toyota’s hybrid system. And it’s actually quite great, until it catches on fire.

That is a myth which refuses to die. Ford developed their own system, and cross-licensed with Toyota over 20 years ago due to commonality of design.
Similarly the cmax transmission is great unless you got an early one and it bores a second output shaft from the inside (bad bearing)
> until it catches on fire
minor details
but does it catch fire and halt?
