Consumer Description

RECENTLY MY CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING ON MY 2000, F150, FORD TRUCK, (WITHIN THE LAST MONTH) AND TODAY MY WIFE DROVE MY TRUCK HOME, PARKED IT IN OUR DRIVEWAY, WENT INTO THE HOUSE AND WITHIN APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND A HALF THE TRUCK ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURST INTO FLAMES AND BURNT UP THE TRUCK, NEARLY CATCHING FIRE TO THE HOUSE. THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING AT THE TIME. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME OUT AND PUT OUT THE FIRE, BUT THE TRUCK WAS A COMPLETE LOSS. THE FIRE CHIEF SAID THAT IT APPEARED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE THAT ORIGINATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY, ALFA, HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND WE WILL NOTIFY THEM OF THE INFORMATION WE'VE GOTTEN FROM THE INTERNET ABOUT NUMEROUS FIRES WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK.*AK
