Description of the problem | On sat march 7, 2009 t aprox 12:30 am my 2001 ford f-150 pick up burst into flames while parked in my driveway. It had been parked for about 3 hours prior to the fire. The fire caught my home on fire. Myself and my 8 year old son as well as our 4 dogs were in the house sleeping. Luckily i heard an explosion and woke up and got my son and pets out of the house safely. The house was severely damaged and will have to be rebuilt. The truck wa totally burned up. I have since found out that there was a problem with the cruise control switch causing fires. Unfortunately i never received a recall notice. |
