Consumer Description

OCCUPANTS WERE DRIVING THE VECHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED TO FLAME UP. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT. BUT BEFORE THAT WAS COMPLETED THE FIRE HAD CONSUMED THE WIRING HARNESSES, FUSE PANEL, CRUISE DEACTIVACTION MECH. AND MISC. OTHER COMPONENTS, COMPUTER ETC. SHORTLY AFTER THIS FORD WAS ON THE NEWS ABOUT A RECALL OF THE EXACT THING THAT HAD HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK. AT THE TIME THERE WAS ONLY LIABILITY INSURANCE ON THE VECHICLE. IT WAS PAID FOR... AND THAT IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT WHEN FORD DON'T WANT TO COVER THEIR MISTAKES... IN CONCLUSION FORD SAYS IT IS NOT THE RIGHT TYPE OF TRUCK BUT IF THE CRUISE MECHANISIM IS WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AND THEN THEY DO A RECALL I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBILE FOR THE ITEM IN QUESTION, NO MATTER WHAT YEAR THEY SAY......
