Consumer Description

JULY 7, 2011, MY 2001 FORD F250 DIESEL, CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE MY TRUCK WAS IN DRIVEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PUT FIRE OUT BUT MY TRUCK WAS RENDERED INOPERABLE. FORD HAS CLAIMED SEVERAL THINGS THAT CAUSED THE FIRE INCLUDING A BACKFIRE (WHICH DIESELS DO NOT DO) AND THE MECHANICS I HAVE HAD TO LOOK AT IT, INCLUDING THE LOCAL FORD DEALER'S MECHANIC, CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, IT WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL. FORD REFUSES TO FIX MY VEHICLE, AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION SINCE THEN. I DO NOT HAVE THE ALMOST $3,000.00 THAT IT WILL COST TO FIX MY TRUCK. *TR
