Consumer Description

ON SEPT 22,2005 MY 2002 FORD F150 BURST INTO FLAMES IN MY CARPORT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. MY DAUGHTER CAME HOME AND WOKE ME JUST IN TIME TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE BEFORE THE ENTIRE HOUSE BURNED. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER THE FIRE. THE FIRE WAS WITNESSED TO START IN MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS SO SEVERELY BURNED THAT SEVERAL INVESTIGATORS REPORTED THIS WAS TYPICAL OF WHAT THEY WHERE EXPERIENCING WITH FORD FIRES ALTHOUGH FORD'S INVESTIGATORS REPORTED THE CRUISE SWITCH WAS PROPERLY FUNCTIONING ACCORDING TO AN X-RAY OF THE PART. HOW THE PART COULD BE FOUND IS A MYSTERY SINCE THE TRUCK WAS SO DAMAGED. FORD IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING. WE LOST EVERYTHING WE OWNED. *JB
