Consumer Description

OUR TRUCK WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WE HAD BEEN HOME FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK. IT CAUGHT FIRE AND EXPLODED. THE FIRE DEPT SAID THE IT STARTED IN THE DASH UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN, PROBABLY RESULTING FROM FAULTY WIRING. WE HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 4 MONTHS AND IT ONLY HAD 9000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING GO WRONG WITH IT UNTIL NOW AND THIS IS MAJOR. THE TRUCK IS TOTALLY DESTROYED, ANOTHER CAR WAS DAMAGED AND THE SIDING OF OUR HOUSE HAD DAMAGE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS? *AK
