Consumer Description

THE CONSUMER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND NEARLY 2 HOURS LATER, THE HORN BEGAN "BLARING" AND THEN THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. *JB AROUND 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRE THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. NEVER HAD REPAIRED.. THE CRUISE STARTING WORKING FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR ONE DAY THEN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. ONE FUSE WAS BLOWN. REPLACED 4 FUSES AND THEY KEPT BLOWING WITH A FLASH. ON THE FIFTH FUSE I STARTED THE TRUCK UP AND IT TOOK THE FUSE WITHOUT BLOWING. THIS WAS ALL THE DAY BEFORE THE FIRE.
