Consumer Description

A FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2004. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN OFF FOR OVER 1 HOUR WITH THE KEYS OUT AND IN THE PARK POSITION. THE FIRE STARTED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND BURNED VERY QUICKLY LEAVING NOTHING LEFT OF THE VEHICLE. FIRE MARSHALL STATED THAT THE CAUSE WAS UNKOWN BUT THE INSURANCE COMANY IS STILL INVESTIGATING. THEY HAVE CLAIMED THE VEHICLE AS A TOTAL LOSS AND ARE REPLACING IT FOR ME. JUST LAST NIGHT, MY NEIGHBOR'S EXPEDITION ALSO CAUGHT FIRE IN A SIMILAR MANNER AND FELT IT NECESSARY THAT I REPORT MY INCIDENT. *AK
