Sunday morning june 26 1:30am, I heard an explosion. Looking out to see my 2000 ford f150 engulfed in flames. The explosion was the drivers front tire exploding from the heat. After the fire department put the fire out, the fire marshal was investigating and told me it was a faulty cruise control switch that ford has a recall for that was the ignition point. I called ford and was told there was nothing they could do for me since they had my correct address and the recall notices were sent and not returned to them. I told ford I did not receive the recall notices.
Our ford f-150 year 2000 started fire under the hood, while we were sleeping. The truck was parked in the diveway at about 12:00 the night before and the fire started at about 6:30-7:00 the next mourning. The truck was burnt to the ground, it totaled my vehicle that was next to it and it damaged our home. If someone hadn't noticed the fire on their way to work and woken us up we would have lost our home and maybe even our lives. The investigator that was sen't to our house to investigate the vehicle is confident that this is related to the cruise control switch. The truck was standing still unoccupied turned off for atleast 6 hours before it wen't up in flames.when we came out of the house the whole hood was on fire, by the time the firemen came the whole truck was burned and it started on the house. The firemen at the seen told us that nothing looked criminal and they believe the fire started under the hood. Their is no doubt in my mind that this fire occured because of the cruise vcontrol recall.
