TRUCK WAS PARKED, TURNED OFF, AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. APPROXIMATELY 3:45AM I HEARD GLASS BREAK AND LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK ON FIRE. I RAN AND GRABBED 2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND A WATER HOSE; AND I PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE TRUCK IS TOTALLED NOW. FORD ASKED ME TO TOW IT INTO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER (WHICH I PAID FOR) ASAP SO THEY COULD INSPECT IT SINCE MY TRUCK RECALL WAS NOT YET FIXED PER FORD'S SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP JUST SAID IT'S NOT FORD'S FAULT EVEN THOUGH THE FIRE HAPPENED THE SAME WAY NUMEROUS OTHER RECALL FIRES OCCURRED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEM, SO I HAVE BEGUN A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM IF MY TRUCK IS NOT REPLACED BY FORD. *TR

ON OCTOBER 30TH, 2009 I WAS TRAVELING ON ROUTE 113 TOWARDS PORTLAND, ME. AFTER I WENT BY A GAS STATION IN BROWNFIELD, ME I STARTED TO PASS A VEHICLE. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND SHORTLY AFTER I UNDERSTOOD THAT I CANNOT CONTROL MY CAR. THE GAS PEDAL STUCK AND BRAKES WERE WORKING ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE. I GOT TO AROUND 30 MPH FROM 65 MPH. THE WHITE SMOKE STARTED TO RISE FROM THE SIDES OF MY TRACK. IN A SHORT DISTANCE, BRAKES FAIL COMPLETELY AND CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE EVEN MORE. WHEN I REALIZED THE I WAS COMING TO THE BRIDGE IN HIRAM, ME, I DECIDED TO CRASH INTO SOMETHING IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

REFERENCE TO RECALL #05V388000. APPROX 7 YEARS AGO THE HARNESS SHORTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WHEN STARTING UP SAW SMOKE AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL SHORT. OBSERVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SHORTENING OUT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL WIRE HARNESS. THIS CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL (I.E. HORN, SPEED SETTINGS) NOT TO WORK. I CONTACT FORD WHO ADVISED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS. A YEAR OR TWO LATER I SAW A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. AT THAT TIME REFUSED TO FIX THE WIRE HARNESS AND JUST UNPLUGGED THE ASSEMBLY. I CONTACTED NHTSA WHO ADVISED TO TRY AGAIN AND IF THEY DON'T FIX FILE A COMPLAINT. I TOOK TO FORD DEALER AGAIN WHO ADVISED THEY WILL NOT FIX EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE ITEM THAT SHORTED OUT. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. *TR

TRUCK BURNED BECAUSE OF FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WHICH I WAS UNAWARE OF.

MY HUSBAND AND FATHER WOULD WORK ON THE TRUCK QUIT OFTEN BUT WE COULD NEVER GET IT FIXED. *TR
