Consumer Description

WE HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO FORD'S COMPARTMENT FIRE ISSUE. FROM EVERYTHING WE HAVE JUST RESEARCHED, IT APPEARS OUR F150 CAUGHT ON FIRE AROUND 5 AM SUNDAY JULY 30. IT HAD BEEN PARKED SINCE 10:30 PM. IN TRYING TO RESEARCH THIS BIZAARE INCIDENT, I DISCOVERED THEIR RECALL WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 2001. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS WHY I FOUND THIS SO BIZAARE TO WAKE UP AT 5 AM TO MY WIFE YELLING "YOUR TRUCK IS ON FIRE!". LUCKILY, I HAVE NEVER BEEN MOTIVATED TO CLEAN OUR GARAGE SO WE COULD PARK INSIDE. HOWEVER, OUR HOME DID SUFFER DAMAGE TO THE SIDING. FORD IS NOT BEING AGGRESSIVE IN ENSURING THIS IS BEING HANDLED. *JB
