Description of the problem | After driving home from work about 5 miles the truck was parked in my drive way about 20 minutes later i had a next store neighbor knocking on my door stating that my truck was on fire. Fire department came to put it out. A neighbor also told me of a recall on the truck due to truck fires and i went online and noticed that the recall started before it was bought from a ford dealership after looking into it the recall was not done before the purchase was made even though they knew of the situation. I was also not notified from ford through any means of any recall needed on the truck its self before or even after the incident. |
