Consumer Description

ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 4, 2011 MY TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE WHILE SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AT MY WIFE'S PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING AND HAD NO MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE FIRE STARTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DAMAGED THE A MAJORITY OF THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE, IT IS TOTALED. I BELIEVE MY FORD TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO A FAILURE IN THE CRUISE CONTROL WIRING SYSTEM AND A LEAK IN THE BRAKE FLUID SYSTEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE WIRING AND MY TRUCK WAS NOT FIXED DUE TO ME BEING THE SECOND OWNER. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL UNTIL I SEARCHED THIS MORNING AFTER THE FIRE. *TR
