Consumer Description

ON SUNDAY MAY 1ST. I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F250 ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICED THAT SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD, AND OUT OF THE AC VENTS. I PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE OF THE FREEWAY AND OPENED THE HOOD, WE SAW NO SMOKE NOR FIRE UNDER THE HOOD BUT JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THE SMOKE CONTINUED COMING OUT THROUGH THE DASHBOARD I THEN PROCEEDED TO CALL AAA AND THEY CALLED THE POLICE. MY SON THEN CALLED 911, AND BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO THE SCENE THAT TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE AND KEPT BURNING UNTIL THE FIRE DEPT. TURNED IT OFF. THE TRUCK IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS, ASIDE FROM MY TRUCK BURNING UP I HAD ALOT OF WORK TOOLS THAT BURNED IN THE FIRE AS WELL. *TR
