Consumer Description

1) 2000 F 150 PARKED IN CLOSED GARAGE AND THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED FOR AT LEAST 10 HOURS. JUST AS I WAS GOING TO BED, HEARD A LOUD BOOM, WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE, CAME BACK IN NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE SIDE DOOR OF GARAGE THAT LEADS INTO THE HOUSE. I OPENED SIDE ENTRY DOOR TO GARAGE, SAW FLAMES SHOOTING OUT OT THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE OF THE F150. HOME IS UNINHABITABLE IN ITS CURRENT STATE, TRUCK IS TOTALLY DESTROYED, BURNED TO THE GROUND. NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, IT IS A TOTAL LOSS. NATIONWIDE, VEHICLE SAFETY IS A CONCERN FOR CONSUMERS. I AM AWARE THROUGH MY COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND POLITICAL BACKGROUND THAT THIS AGENCY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN HELP ME WITH A PROBLEM A DANGEROUS AS THIS, OF ENGINE FIRES IN THE F-150 AND APPEARS THAT IT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO THE F 150'S.*AK
