1995 Ford F Series

MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED SINCE 7.30 AM IN MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY UNTIL 4.15 WHEN IT JUST CAUGHT ON FIRE AND COMPLETELY BURNT. DESTROYING A MAJOR PORTION OF MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY PAVEMENT. IT APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED AT THE FIREWALL OF THE TRUCK AS I SAID IT WAS PARKED AND THE IGNITION WAS OFF. I HAVE MY TRUCK KEYS WITH ME SO I CAN SHOW PROOF POSITIVE THE VEHICLE IGNITION WAS OFF. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN JAN. 2005 I DID NOT THEN NOR HAVE I EVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD OR ANYONE. MY CONCERN IS WHO IS GOING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO MY PARENTS DRIVE WAY AND SINCE IT IS A RECALL ISSUE DO I NOT DESERVE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPLACED WITH VEHICLE OF MY CHOICE? *TR

WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RADIO WENT OUT, MY GAUGES STARTED TO GO CRAZY, THEN MY TRUCK HAD SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. AFTER THAT I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WENT TO PRESS MY BRAKES, I HAD NO BRAKES. SO I TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT, WHERE NOW MY GAUGES HAD PEGGED ALL TO ONE SIDE, MORE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND NOW I STILL DIDN'T HAVE NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. SO I SLAMMED THE TRUCK INTO PARK, THEN SHUT IT OFF. I POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED A SMALL FIRE UNDER THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE LINES GOING TO THE MASTER CYLINDER WHERE FIRE ENGINE RED. TRIED PUTTING OUT THE FIRE BUT HAD A DEFECTIVE FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE FIRE SPREAD AND HAS SEVERELY DAMAGED THE TRUCK, IT IS AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN. *TR

I OWN A 1995 FORD F-150 4X4. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER OF 1998, AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 87,000 MILES ON IT. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, BUT I ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. I THOUGHT THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS CAUSED BY THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WHICH I CONTRIBUTED TO THE SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATION. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD THE REAREND REBUILT, AND HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I STILL EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, BUT I AM WONDERING IF THE RECENT INFORMATION ABOUT A SHORT IN THE CRUISE CONTROL COULD BE CAUSING THE TROUBLE. ALL WORK HAS BEEN DONE BY A REPUTABLE FORD GARAGE, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE REASON FOR THE CONTINUED PROBLEMS.

I CAME HOME FROM WORK AND PARKED MY 95 FORD F-150 XLT SUPER CAB TRUCK AT 5:45 P.M. FRIDAY EVENING . I DIDN;T DRIVE MY TRUCK THE REST OF THE WEEKEND I WAS AWAKENED SUNDAY MORNING AT AROUND 9:00 A.M.BY THE POSTAL WORKER DROPPING OFF MAIL FOR THE NEXT DAY. MY ENTIRE TRUCK WAS BURNT BY ELECTRICAL SHORT AS BY DESCRIBED BY FIRE MASHALL. *AK
