The truck wont crank. When the key is turned off and removed some electrical systems still work and cause smoking. I have had to disconnect the battery in fear the truck will burn down. Ford was contacted about the issue and said they cant do anything because their records for recalls only go 10 years. Even though the truck has less than 84000 miles on it.

On august 24, 2001, a fire spontaneously began under the hood of my 1991 ford f150 pickup truck while it was turned off and parked in the driveway at night. The fire caused expensive damage to the vehicle and would have probably caught my house on fire had the truck been parked in the garage. I checked with the local ford dealership (centroplex ford in killeen, texas, which is now automax ford) about ford's liability and they said repairs would not be covered because the factory warranty had long expired. I therefore sought compensation through my insurance company. I paid for the ford dealership to perform repairs, which were not done satisfactorily. I am reporting this now because the incident is very similar to recent occurrences that have caused deaths and resulted in a major recall. My vehicle is not covered under that recall and should have been. Therefore, I am requesting that the recall be extended to 1991 ford f150 pickups and that I receive satisfactory compensation and repairs.
