MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED SINCE 7.30 AM IN MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY UNTIL 4.15 WHEN IT JUST CAUGHT ON FIRE AND COMPLETELY BURNT. DESTROYING A MAJOR PORTION OF MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY PAVEMENT. IT APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED AT THE FIREWALL OF THE TRUCK AS I SAID IT WAS PARKED AND THE IGNITION WAS OFF. I HAVE MY TRUCK KEYS WITH ME SO I CAN SHOW PROOF POSITIVE THE VEHICLE IGNITION WAS OFF. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN JAN. 2005 I DID NOT THEN NOR HAVE I EVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD OR ANYONE. MY CONCERN IS WHO IS GOING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO MY PARENTS DRIVE WAY AND SINCE IT IS A RECALL ISSUE DO I NOT DESERVE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPLACED WITH VEHICLE OF MY CHOICE? *TR
WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RADIO WENT OUT, MY GAUGES STARTED TO GO CRAZY, THEN MY TRUCK HAD SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. AFTER THAT I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WENT TO PRESS MY BRAKES, I HAD NO BRAKES. SO I TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT, WHERE NOW MY GAUGES HAD PEGGED ALL TO ONE SIDE, MORE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND NOW I STILL DIDN'T HAVE NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. SO I SLAMMED THE TRUCK INTO PARK, THEN SHUT IT OFF. I POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED A SMALL FIRE UNDER THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE LINES GOING TO THE MASTER CYLINDER WHERE FIRE ENGINE RED. TRIED PUTTING OUT THE FIRE BUT HAD A DEFECTIVE FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE FIRE SPREAD AND HAS SEVERELY DAMAGED THE TRUCK, IT IS AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN. *TR
