NHTSA Complaint #10108122 — 2000 FORD F-150

WE PARKED OUR 2000 FORD F-150 TRUCK IN OUR DRIVEWAY ON MONDAY AT 5:30 IN THE AFTERNOON, AND AT 7:00 THE NEXT MORNING(13 HOURS LATER) IT BURNED TO THE GROUND. OUR NEIGHBOR WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AND HEARD THE TIRES EXPLODE, SAW IT WAS ON FIRE AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPT. . HE ALSO TOOK PICTURES. I HAVE CALLED EVERYONE, EMAILED, LAWYERS ,T.V., CONSUMER AGENCIES AND OF COURSE FORD MOTOR REPEATEDLY. BECAUSE I HAD NO INSURANCE, THERE HAS BEEN NO INTEREST. I STILL HAVE THE TRUCK MELTED TO MY DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS ONLY 50,000 MILES ON IT AND WE PURCHASED IT NEW. WE HAVE BORROWED A VEHICLE AND RENTED CARS TO GET TO WORK. WE OWN OUR OWN BUSINESS, AND IT HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT TIME, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR, NOR SHOULD WE HAVE TO AS THE AVERAGE CONSUMER DOES NOT EXPECT THEIR VEHICLE TO GO UP IN FLAMES WHILE THEY SLEEP. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD NUMEROUS TIMES, AND HAVE HAD TO REPEAT THE SAME STORY OVER AND OVER. AND OF COURSE, THEY JUST SENT A LETTER TELLING ME TO CONTACT THE INSURANCE CO. PLEASE HELP US TO RETRIEVE A VEHICLE. TELL ME, WHAT DOES FORD DO WITH THE RECALL WHEN IT CONCERNS A MELTED BURNED UP TRUCK? I STILL HAVE IT MELTED TO MY DRIVEWAY. I REFUSED TO HAVE IT REMOVED IN THE HOPES THAT JUSTICE WOULD PREVAIL, AND IT IS OUR EVIDENCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MY NAME IS[XXX], MY PHONE NUMBERS ARE [XXX] AND [XXX]. THANK YOU. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
