 My ford f350 crewcab caught on fire for no apparent reason. i am just now finding out that there is a recall on my vehicle because of spontaneous fires on my year and model. i spent almost $3000.00 on repairs and have been having ongoing problems with the engine quitting while driving. i would like to know if there is any remedy that i can obtain from ford. i have not been able to use this truck for over 2 years because of the engine quitting and then a no start situation. vehicle will start after it cools down but will stop within a half hour.this is frustrating because this is my only vehicle and i have lost use of the truck and had to stop working because i am a construction contractor and needed it to work. i have had the truck to the dealer numerous times. after researching problems online i had only found out then about possible underhood fires on my vehicle. i also found out about other tsb and recall information of which i had not been notified. *tr
