2001 f150 crewcab 4dr/4wd 2001 ignited under the hood and caught on fire on its own after resting w/o running for 2 hours. Fire department had to put the flames out before the truck exploded. The truck was located next to in-laws home and vehicles. This was reported to ford company and insurance. Within the next 2 days, a nationwide recall was sent out that included my truck. My truck had been taken to the ford dealership in the past year and I was told it did not fit into this recall at the given time. Fire investigator for insurance has identified the cruise control as the problem. I did not have any intentions of selling or trading this vehicle and kept it in excellent condition. Ford motor company should be held responsible for replacing my truck with a brand new truck of the same model.

Truck caught fire around 4:00 am on 05/17/05 while parked in the driveway. My 5-year-old child awoke and came to our bedroom and awakened us. We saw a glow out the window and looked out the window to find the truck was on fire. I called 911 and attempted to put out the fire with the water hose unsuccessfully until the fire department got there. I then began to water down my wife's and sister-in-law's vehicles which were parked close to the truck and wet down the house which was also close by. The fire department then arrived and put out the fire but the truck was already destroyed.

At around 7 p m I parked my ford truck in front of my home. At around 9 p m my wife and I where sitting on our sofa when she noticed flames in front of our house through the window. Upon opening the door we noticed flames coming out under the wheel well and the hood. At that time I retrived a fire extingusher from my truck and put out the fire. I did not call the police of fire dept. As we live in a gated community, and the fire had been put out. The next day I called my insurance agent and proceeded to file a claim. Upon completion of having two car dealers working on it and a rental car, there was over $8,000 worth of expense to my insurance company and I. The insurance company did try to collect from ford for there expense, but it was denied. The exact incident date may be off by a couple of days, I am not sure of the exact time or date.
