1995 Ford F-150

1995 FORD F-150 PICKUP CAUGHT FIRE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FULL DAY AND A HALF AND THE ENGINE WAS COLD. THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES WHEN WE FOUND IT ABOUT 6:45 PM. FIRE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE AND A SATURN SEDAN PARKED NEXT TO IT IN THE DRIVEWAY. MY HUSBAND COLLAPSED AND SUFFERED A FATAL HEART ATTACK WHILE TRYING TO PUT OUT FLAMES. MY SON IN LAW HELPED SAVE THE HOUSE FROM BURNING DOWN UNTIL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE AND EMT'S ARRIVED. *TR

I PARKED AND SECURED MY 1995 FORD F-150 AND WENT TO WORK. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES LATER A FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE SECURITY AND FIRE DEPARTMENT OF MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT RESPONDED QUICKLY (FIFTEEN MINUTES OR LESS) AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THEY BROKE THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IN AN EFFORT TO GAIN ACCESS BUT THE HOOD LATCH CABLE HAD ALREADY BEEN DISABLED BY THE FIRE SO ACCESS WAS GAINED BY PRYING OPEN THE HOOD. EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS RUINED. THE FIREMAN AT THE SCENE POINTED OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH AS THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. MY INSURANCE AGENT (USAA) HAS NOT AS OF YET GOTTEN BACK WITH ME AS TO THE ESTIMATED EXTENT OF THE DAMAGES BUT CONSIDERING THE EXTENSIVE ELECTRICAL AND OTHER DAMAGE IT IS MY PREDICTION THAT THE TRUCK WILL BE CONSIDERED AS A TOTAL LOSS. FORD KNOWS OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND HAS NOT IN MY OPINION TAKEN APPROPRIATE ACTION THROUGH RECALLS.*JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FRONT AND BACK RIGHT SIDE TIRE BLOWOUTS WHICH RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND VEHICLE ROLLOVER, ONE DEATH AND ONE INJURY AS A RESULT OF ACCIDENT. *MJS

DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY, HEARD A LOUD NOISE, SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD AREA THROUGH THE VENTS. GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT BURST INTO FLAMES, BURNING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. *AK

ON OCTOBER 30TH, 2009 I WAS TRAVELING ON ROUTE 113 TOWARDS PORTLAND, ME. AFTER I WENT BY A GAS STATION IN BROWNFIELD, ME I STARTED TO PASS A VEHICLE. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND SHORTLY AFTER I UNDERSTOOD THAT I CANNOT CONTROL MY CAR. THE GAS PEDAL STUCK AND BRAKES WERE WORKING ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE. I GOT TO AROUND 30 MPH FROM 65 MPH. THE WHITE SMOKE STARTED TO RISE FROM THE SIDES OF MY TRACK. IN A SHORT DISTANCE, BRAKES FAIL COMPLETELY AND CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE EVEN MORE. WHEN I REALIZED THE I WAS COMING TO THE BRIDGE IN HIRAM, ME, I DECIDED TO CRASH INTO SOMETHING IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. NEXT THING I REMEMBERED I WAS TAKING OUT OF THE CAR AND WAS GOING IN AMBULANCE TO MAINE MEDICAL CENTER. MY HUSBAND NOTIFIED FORD SHORTLY AFTER ACCIDENT. WE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD, BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPOND TO IT SO FAR. *TR
