| Our 1995 ford f-150 burst into flames in our garage after being parked and not running for one hour. it was fine just ten minutes before the fire started. the fire in the garage caught the entire house on fire - we lost everything, although no personal injury. state farm forensic report shows origin to be driver side, on the engine side of the fire wall, and having something to do with the brake mechanism (i'm still waiting for a copy of the report). can you compare my complaint to others and maybe tell me what might have started this fire? we have suffered a terrible loss, so we would like to know what started the fire if possible. there was brake work on this truck only six days before the fire. *jb | |||

| At less thn 1500miles the coumputor had to be replaced due to the idle being so rough. the replacing of the computor did not solve the problem and the truck idles so rough that at times it will cut off at a stoplight or set there and just shake. the dealer said it was a normal problem and they could not fix it. that was problem #1. the second problem was the brakes started shuddering before i had 10,000 miles on the vehicle. the dealer turned the brakes and took off the front hubs and turned the rotors and replaced the front brake shoes. this problem was fixed. the major problem with the vehicle has been the automatic front locking hubs. in making moderate turns to the left or right the front hubs will sometimes engage by themselves causing the vehilce to pull to the left or right with no notice. also the front locking hubs will at times not engage when put in 4 wheel drive , this has caused several dangerous situations when the 4-wheel function was extremely necessary. one example was going up a snow covered road ,pulling a trailer with a motorcycle on it. the automatic hubs just on their on disengaged causing the vehicle to stop it's forward progress and to start slipping down the hill with the brakes all locked. what is bad is that i have contacted armstong ford and they said they have never had a problem with automatic hubs. this is a total lie. the car part dealers around this area have told me that one of their fastest moving replacement parts is kits to convert from automatic locking hubs to manual. ford has known of the problem of the 1995 and 1996 ford 4-wheel drive vehicles but has not acknowleded the problem. my truck was taken to the dealer for repair of the 4-wheel autmatic hubs while under warranty and they said they were fine. this was when the vehicle had about 28,000 miles. the vehicle has now only got 32,000 miles on it but i am going to try to change out the autmatic hubs to manual. i am pissed!!!! | |||

| Dt: contact states on 6-15-05 her husband was driving 1995 ford f150. when attempting to leave the parking lot could not get truck out of park. he shut the car off, put it in neutral, and was able to drive the car. later the abs light came on and blinked 15 times. when he got home realized did not have any brake lights. drove another vehicle to work the next day and called the dealership, and he said it sounded like a bad fuse. sunday morning he went to change the fuse, and as he was installing a fuse, he heard a hissing noise and a smoke came out from the hood. he raised the hood and noticed that the cruise control switch was completely charred. consumer disconnected the switch because he had seen it done on the other 2000 f150 they owned, and he was afraid of a fire could start. immediately called ford, and they did not answer. she called again and she told ford she was recording them. they refused to give her the nhtsa phone number. they said their computer was down and they could not provide any information. she called back later, and was told them the same thing. they said they still have the truck, and nhtsa was welcome to come and check it. *ak | |||

| This tire was rotated from left front to left rear two weeks prior to tread separation. when driving at low speed (15-25 mph) on the day of incident we could feel a wobble in the vehicle but did not connect it to any tire problems. after driving 150 miles of a 600 mile trip a loud pop was heard we determined that the tire had blown. my pregnant wife applied the brakes and pulled the vehilcle off the road onto the right hand shoulder of i-35 just south of dallas. the tread had separated and did damage to the left rear quarter panel, and fuel filler neck of the rear tank. i took video tape (available to you) of the incident. we replaced the blown tire with the spare, continued to little rock, ar where we purchased an identical tire and replace it in the left rear position. united services automobile association (usaa) paid for a claim that we submitted. we experienced a side wall failure on the right front one year earlier on memorial day traveling from oklahoma to arkansas.*ak (tiresize: 235/75r15)( dot number: tire size: 235/75r15 ) | |||
