Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED A 2000 FORD F-150 PICKUP IN OCTOBER 2003. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER IN FEBRUARY 2005 TO HAVE THE REPAIR WORK PERFORMED. WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS AN INTERIM REPAIR AND PERMANENT REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE ONCE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE MORE WIDELY AVAILABLE. ON SATURDAY, JULY 1, 2006, OUR 2000 FORD F-150 EXPLODED WHILE SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE RESULTING FIRE DESTROYED THE TRUCK AND CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO OUR HOME. THE TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE IT EXPLODED. THE LOCAL FIRE CHIEF STATED THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK'S ENGINE. PLEASE NOTE THE TRUCK EXPLODED AFTER WE HAD THE REPAIR WORK DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH FORD'S RECALL NOTICE. *JB
