Consumer Description

WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY, AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 20 MINUTES PRIOR WE COULD SMELL A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL. A FEW SHORT MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE STARTED IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND SLOWLY MAKE ITS WAY TO THE BED. THE HOOD WAS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD PUT IT OUT. WE BELIEVE THIS WAS DUE TO THE RECALL CAMPAIGN 11S21. WE DID OWN THE VEHICLE OUT RIGHT, AND DID NOT CARRY INSURANCE, BUT MY OTHER VEHICLE HAD SOME DAMAGE AND A NUMBER OF MY HUSBANDS TOOLS WERE DESTROYED.
