Description of the problem | For a long time we had issues with the brakes even after getting new ones,about 3 wks before the fire my cruise stopped working. On the day before the fire i rolled my front windows down after i went back to work,an when i got off work my windows would not roll up,an i could not get the gear out of park,so i turned the engine off ,an just turned the key on,an got it to go into neutral so i could start it an get it into drive. The next morning i took it to the shop to see about the windows,an before it could be checked ,about 3:00 in the afternoon the engine off,the shop owner came out an the truck engine was fully engulfed. We didn't know until after the fire that there had been a recall on the speed control system that could result in a engine fire. We never received a recall notice. |
