| On august 1, 2010, our ford f150 (vin 1ftdx176xvka42636) started on fire and burned from the engine on out. the hood is totally burned through and the windshield also burned. the entire engine compartment is ruined. the truck was in our driveway at the time and we were alerted my neighbors who saw flames shooting 10' into the sky. we believe this engine fire was due to one of the recalls of ford's faulty switches or wiring that ignited the spark into a full burn. | |||

| June 5, 2005- about 1:30am, my wife and i were awaken by the neighbors and the fire dept. they informed us that our truck was on fire in the driveway. the hood was melted away and the front half of the truck was engulfed in flames. the fire dept. deemed the source in the area of the master cylinder switch and or relay box. normally we park in the garage, but thank god i didn't that night. prior to this, the cruise control had been acting funny and my park brake switch blew a fuse. the tech at duthler ford here in gr told me to just replace the fuse. so i removed the 15amp fuse and replace it with same. that night it burned. | |||
