Description of the problem	I have a 2001 ford f150 supercrew pick up. I don't recall giving a notice in the mail, however i saw a story on tv about a woman whose home burned down due to the defect of the cruise control. My wife drives the vehicle to work everyday in weslaco and the dealership is just a block away from her office. This is not the dealership that the vehicle was purchased from. My wife took the vehicle to the local dealership twice to get the recall fixed but the customer service department was so rude she didn't leave it. The last time was just wednesday june 8th. There is more to tell about this but not enough space. I am unemployed and my wife's income is all we have right now so our insurance had lapsed so she parked the truck outside my mother in law's house and my wife was driving her mom's car. Tuesday june 14th at about 4pm someone knocked on my mother in law's door and told her that the truck was on fire. She called the fire department and they came and put it out but the entire truck was gone. The fire marshal told hundreds of photos and documented everything. He told us that it was defintely the recall of a factory default. He said there had been 5 cases in weslaco all the same. The fire starts in the motor under the front side left tire. The tire popped, the hood was totally burns away the bumper and the paint on the sides. The dash board, side mirrors and the motor is all one molded piece. The winshield exploded with glass everywhere. I am only thankful that it didn't burn down the house or that someone i love wasn't driving it when the fire started.
