MY 2000 FORD F-150 BURNED TO A CRISP LAST NIGHT. I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS INSIDE PUTTING THE GROCERIES AWAY WHEN I HEARD A "BOOM" OUTSIDE AND WHEN I RAN OUT I OBSERVED A FIRED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED. THERE WAS SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO MY RESIDENCE AND I NOW HAVE A REALLY COOL LOOKING GARBAGE CAN FROM THE HEAT OF THE FIRE. FRIENDS INFORMED ME TODAY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS RECALLS, AND SIMILAR INCIDENTS, BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT ANY RECALLS. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS BESIDES CONTACTING MY INSURANCE COMPANY(S)? *NM

WAS ON A SLICK ROAD. I WAS GOING 15 MILES AN HOUR, WHEN MY 2000 FORD F-150 SPUN COMPLETELY AROUND. WHEN THE TRUCK SPUN AROUND IT WENT TOWARDS THE DITCH BACKWARDS. WHEN I HIT THE DITCH THE TRUCK FLIPPED ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED ON THE SCENE HE INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR TIRE BROKE OFF THE AXLE. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING AT SUCH A SLOW SPEED, NEITHER HAD THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS A HEAVY HALF TON LOAD AXLE . WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE AXLE IN THE LIGHT IT APPEARED THAT IT CRYSTALLIZED AND SNAPPED. I AM A WELDER AND WORK WITH METAL EVERY DAY AND THE AXLE LOOK ALMOST LIKE CAST. *NM

I GOT HOME ABOUT 7:15 PM AND WENT INSIDE AND WATCHED TELEVISION WITH MY FAMILY UNTIL 8:30 PM, WHICH IS WHEN I WENT TO BED. MY WIFE AND I WOKE UP AT 11:30 PM FROM A BRIGHT LIGHT COMING THROUGH OUR BEDROOM WINDOW. WHEN WE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW THE LIGHT WE HAD SEEN WAS THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY 2000 FORD F-150 ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE CALLED 911 AND THE FIRE DEPT. RESPONDED. MY WIFE'S CAR A 2002 HYUNDAI ACCENT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND HAD THE REAR BUMPER AND TAIL LIGHTS MELTED ON IT BEFORE I COULD GET IT MOVED. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO I HAD TO HAVE THE MASS FLOW AIR SENSOR REPLACED ON THE TRUCK AND THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY TOOK CARE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALL THAT WAS PLACED ON THAT MODEL. *JB
