| Description of the problem | On june 11th 2007, i drove my 2004 ford f150 pickup truck 12 miles to drop my dad off at his house. I came straight home. I parked the truck in front of my home at 5:00pm that evening. It stayed parked for the night. At 3:20 am on june 12, 2007 my 2004 ford f150 full size pickup truck burst into flames. It burned so hot that the firemen had a hard time putting it out. The police checked a camera that points down my street and it did not show anybody doing anything to the truck. It just spontaneous combustion. There were no modifications made to the truck, and all maintenance was performed in a timely fashion. I also have pictures of the truck if needed. |
