Consumer Description

I GOT OFF WORK AT 6:00 PM AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE GYM (APPROX. 1 MI.). I LEFT THE GYM AT 7:00 PM, AND DROVE HOME (APPROX 1 MI.). I GOT HOME ABOUT 7:15 PM AND WENT INSIDE AND WATCHED TELEVISION WITH MY FAMILY UNTIL 8:30 PM, WHICH IS WHEN I WENT TO BED. MY WIFE AND I WOKE UP AT 11:30 PM FROM A BRIGHT LIGHT COMING THROUGH OUR BEDROOM WINDOW. WHEN WE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW THE LIGHT WE HAD SEEN WAS THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY 2000 FORD F-150 ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE CALLED 911 AND THE FIRE DEPT. RESPONDED. MY WIFE'S CAR A 2002 HYUNDAI ACCENT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND HAD THE REAR BUMPER AND TAIL LIGHTS MELTED ON IT BEFORE I COULD GET IT MOVED. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO I HAD TO HAVE THE MASS FLOW AIR SENSOR REPLACED ON THE TRUCK AND THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY TOOK CARE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALL THAT WAS PLACED ON THAT MODEL. *JB
