My vehicle had been parked since 7.30 am in my parents driveway until 4.15 when it just caught on fire and completely burnt. Destroying a major portion of my parents driveway pavement. It appears to have started at the firewall of the truck as I said it was parked and the ignition was off. I have my truck keys with me so I can show proof positive the vehicle ignition was off. I have done some research and found that there was a recall on my vehicle in jan. 2005 I did not then nor have I ever received a recall notice from ford or anyone. My concern is who is going to repair the damage to my parents drive way and since it is a recall issue do I not deserve to have my vehicle replaced with vehicle of my choice?

What 1995 Ford F Series owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Was approaching a stop light, when all of a sudden my radio went out, my gauges started to go crazy, then my truck had shut off and turned back on. After that I noticed smoke coming from under the hood went to press my brakes, I had no brakes. So I turned into a parking lot, where now my gauges had pegged all to one side, more smoke was coming from under the hood, and now I still didn't have no brakes or power steering. So I slammed the truck into park, then shut it off. I popped the hood and noticed a small fire under the master cylinder and the brake lines going to the master cylinder where fire engine red. Tried putting out the fire but had a defective fire extinguisher. The fire spread and has severely damaged the truck, it is at the point of no return.
The current recall didn't go back far enough, since my f150 gas straps also broke off.
1995 f150 burnt to ground at 930pm after sitting in driveway all day.
In june 2003 my 1995 f150,VIN 1ftex14nska48833 burnt sitting in front of my house. I had the key in the house, cold for 3 days. I have pictures before and after the burn. For issued the recall on my truck just last month. The local service manager sent in by email copies of the pictures. They refuse culpability.
1. Lost use of auto horn 2. Cruise control module was burned up, lose of horn 3. Disconnected module, grounded horn wire.
Truck = 1995 ford f-150 with 302 cu. In. Cruise control stopped working on truck brake light fuse blew replaced 15 amp fuse with 20 amp fuse, within seconds cruise-control deactivation switch started to smoke and melt from within. Removed fuse immediately.
The fire stsrted in the ford f150 after we had gone to bed and about 3 hours after parking the truck, in the drive in front of a garage door. The fire totaled my "baby". After seeing the nbc story on fords I tried to contact ford motor co. Vai e mail. O date no response.
I own a 1995 ford f-150 4x4. I bought the truck in december of 1998, and it had approximately 87,000 miles on it. I started having trouble with the cruise control shortly after I bought the truck, but I also had trouble with the speedometer. I thought that the cruise control was caused by the speedometer problem. I also had trouble with the automatic transmission, which I contributed to the speedometer fluctuation. Since then, I have had the rearend rebuilt, and have replaced the transmission. I still experience problems with the transmission, and the cruise control. I have never had a fire in the engine compartment, but I am wondering if the recent information about a short in the cruise control could be causing the trouble. All work has been done by a reputable ford garage, and they have not been able to find the reason for the continued problems.
A malfunctioning check valve within the fuel pump assembly causes a portion of the unused fuel from one tank to be returned to the second tank. When this occurs, the capacity of the second tank can be exceeded, causing fuel spillage.
