WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK ON 06/17/07 AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. THE DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT I DROVE THE TRUCK AND PARK IT AT 6PM, TAKE THE KEY OUT AND PUT IT UNDER THE MATE. THE NEXT DAY AT ABOUT 10:30AM OR 11 AM I SMILED SOME THING BURNING, I LOOKED OVER AND SAW A CLOUD OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE TRUCK, I TRIED TO BUT THE FIRE OUT WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER, BUT NO LUCK. THE FIRE DONE SPREAD EVERY WHERE. CALLED 911 AND BY THE TIME THEY GOT THERE THE FIRE GOT THE TRUCK AND THE SIDE OF A HOUSE THAT WAS PARKED NEXT TO IT. *TR
