VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. MY FORD F150 WAS PARKED IN MY MOTHER'S CARPORT. FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. I LOOKED OUT THE DOOR TO CARPORT. HOOD ON TRUCK HAD POPPED UP AND FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, ALREADY TOUCHING THE ROOF OF THE CARPORT. MY MOTHER AND I GOT OUT OF THE HOUSE IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED 911 ON MY CELL PHONE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED QUICKLY. HOWEVER, THE HOUSE SUSTAINED HEAVY FIRE, SMOKE AND WATER DAMAGE THROUGHOUT AND IS UN-LIVABLE. MY MOTHER'S CAR WAS ALSO BURNED COMPLETELY IN THE FIRE. I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE ON FEBRUARY 18TH, ONE WEEK AFTER THE FIRE.
