Description of the problem | The truck was parked after being driven 2 miles. It had started to smoke and next thing i know it was on fire. I called the fire department, while my 15 y/o son put out fire with a fire extinguisher. It was said to be a electrical fire. A friend that drives tow trucks came by to look at it and said it had a recall on it where it burned. It burned the master cylinder and fire department said it was the wiring under that, that caused the fire. I did some research and found out that there was a recall. So i contacted the ford company and made a claim with them on the following thursday after fire. I was told i should have a response from them in 15 business days, here it is 6 1/2 weeks later and nothing. Not a letter, not a phone call, nothing. I call and get tld there has not been anything done. I just want my truck fixed. I want to know if the ford company will repair it or if i need to fix it myself. My husband is on dialysis and has multiple health issues and this was our only running vehicle until this happened. Please help. |
