MAY 19, 2011 AT AROUND 4:20 AM WE WERE AWAKEN BY OUR NEIGHBORS THAT OUR TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. OUR 2001 FORD F150 WAS ON FIRE, AN EXPLOSION HAD MADE A HUGE HOLE IN THE HOOD ON THE FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE. THE TRUCK HAD LAST BEEN DRIVEN THE MORNING OF MAY 17, 2011 AND HAD BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY SINCE THEN. THE FIREMEN SAID THE FIRE WAS DUE TO ELECTRICAL WIRING. WE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. WE HAD NO IDEA OF THE PROBLEMS FORDS WERE HAVING, WE NOW ONLY HAVE ONE VEHICLE TO GET AROUND AND THE WORST PART IS THAT IT'S A 2004 FORD F250 WHICH COULD ALSO BE A RECALL VEHICLE. OUR INCOME IS VERY TIGHT BECAUSE MY MOTHER IS VERY SICK AND WE ARE SENDING MONEY FOR HER MEDICATION AND EXPENSES, WE HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. OUR FORD F250 IS A DIESEL AND DIESEL FUEL IS VERY HIGH. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! NOT SURE WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSE TO DO OR IF FORD WILL BE RESPONSIBLE.

MY FIRST FORD F150 HAD A ENGINE FIRE AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY BRAKE FLUID SWITCH. I WAS TOLD THIS TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT IT. SINCE THEN THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED. MY CURRENT FORD F150 HAS A LEAKY BRAKE FLUID SWITCH AND MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. THIS SWITCH IS THE ONE THAT WAS PUT ON BY FORD AFTER I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE RECALL. FORD SAID THIS IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL RECALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER FIRE AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY BE RECALLED LATER. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ARTICLES ONLINE ABOUT BRAKE FLUID LEAKS CONTINUING TO CAUSE FIRES IN FORD VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS SIMPLE PROBLEM NOW BEFORE IT BECOMES A LARGE PROBLEM. P.S. I CHOOSE "FIREBALL" IN EQUIPMENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE FORD LISTED AS THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
