Consumer Description

WE MOVED IT AROUND IN OUR SHED AT ABOUT 10PM ON 6/16/12 AND WE AWOKE AT 4 AM TO OUR SHOP, MACHINE SHED, AND CHICKEN COOP ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE LOST OVER $100,000 IN PROPERTY. THE FIRE MARSHALL DETERMINED THAT OUR FORD EXPEDITION WAS TO BLAME AND THAT IT STARTED UNDER THE HOOD, SOMEWHERE IN THE ELECTRICAL. WE ONLY HAD LIABILITY ONLY ON 2 OF THE 3 VEHICLES IN THE SHOP ALONG WITH OUR MOTORCYCLE AND TRAILER SO THEY WERE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. I THINK FORD SHOULD OF COMPENSATED US FOR THE ITEMS WE DID NOT GET PAID FOR. THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, AND COMPENSATE THE PEOPLE THAT HAD FIRES WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
