Consumer Description

ON JULY 10 2008 AT 5:30AM OR THERE ABOUT OUR 2000 FORD EXPEDITION CAUGHT ON FIRE. AT THIS TIME THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS. IT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF OUR GARAGE WHICH ALSO BURNT OUR GARAGE. BY THE GRACE OF GOD A NEIGHBOR WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK AND WOKE US UP AND CALLED 911. MYSELF MY WIFE AND MY SIX YEAR OLD GOT OUT OF THE HOUSE SAFELY. HAD THE CAR BEEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE THE LIKELIHOOD OF US BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT OUT OF THE HOUSE ON TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN SLIM TO NONE. WE CALLED FORD MOTORS AND FILED A COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP US AT THIS TIME. AND THAT WE SHOULD EXPECT A LETTER FROM THEM (FORD) IN ABOUT 10-12 DAYS. ONCE WE RECEIVE THE LETTER THEN WE COULD RESPOND AT THAT TIME. IN THE MEAN TIME NEITHER OUR INSURANCE COMPANY OR FORD WERE WILLING TO HELP US. THEY TRUCK WAS SERVICED REGULARLY. *TR
