 As i slept this past saturday morning (11/18/2006), my 1998 f-150 pick-up burned to the ground about 4:00am. this was my second ford pick-up owned, and i was very pleased with ford until this happened. my truck was paid for and i was completely happy with it. i am now without a vehicle until i hear from my insurance company, whom says i didn't have any rental car coverage on my policy. i have had to miss this week in work wages due to no way to get to my job 30 minutes away, and will be forced to miss thanksgiving holiday with my family in arkansas. can ford reimburse me for any of my lost work wages or a rebate off a new purchase? i really feel that due to a major fault by ford, that they should reimburse me with a vehicle to drive so that i can get to work. i am currently stuck and miserable, and do not feel that this is fair for me to have to suffer one more day because i put my trust in ford motor co. i strongly feel that ford should at least do something on their part, to make this right! regards, scott howard. *nm
