Description of the problem | My f150 blower motor unit just shorted out and caught fire while i was on the freeway. I am just so disgusted as i already got past blowing out sparkplugs on this truck as i had to remove the head and re thread it so they would be safe and now this. How does ford continue to get a away with producing vehicles that are dangerous to the public? I loved my truck but will probably have to move to a safer vehicle now. |
