Description of the problem	Woke up this morning to a couple of loud "booms". My husband went to check it out and discovered his truck (which we just purchased in may) was on fire. The fire destroyed the truck, melted the siding on our house and garage, and even cracked three of our neighbor's windows. We are so grateful the firefighters arrived when they did or this fire would've kept burning our house. The truck hadn't moved since last night... Don't know what happened but we will not be purchasing a ford again. *js
