Consumer Description

ON AUGUST 15TH I DROVE MY 2001 FORD EXCURSION TO GET A HAIRCUT IN THE MORNING. THEN ON THE WAY BACK I STOPPED AT LITTLE CEASERS PIZZA FOR MY KIDS. SOON AFTER THAT I CAME HOME AND PARKED MY 2001 EXCURSION IN MY BACK YARD. ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER I CHECK ON MY KIDS AND I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF MY EXCURSION. SOON AFTER THAT I SAW FIRE AND THE WHOLE EXCURSION WAS UP IN FLAMES. MY CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED THERER WAS NO FIRE OR SMOKE WHEN I LOCKED THE VEHICLE AND CAME IN THE HOUSE. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED. I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK BUT THE NOTICE WAS NOT AN EMERGENCY IT JUST SAID CALL YOUR LOCAL FORD DEALER WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF. THEY NEVER SAID YOUR TRUCK CAN CATCH ON FIRE AND MAYBE BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN. *JB
