Then on Jan. 26, 2005 at 05:00am, my wife woke me up saying that my truck had just exploded. I went outside and saw the fire in the engine compartment. At that time the main concentration of the fire was on the drivers side. I notified Ford, to which their reply was sorry for your inconvenience but there are no recalls on your vehicle and it is also out of warranty. The truck is a total loss and damage was done to my property.

On December 4, 2004, I took my 1997 F-250 truck on about a 600 mile trip. During the trip I tried the cruise control, which worked about 5 months earlier and found it to be nonfunctional. The next day I found myself in a position that required engaging the four-wheel drive, however it would not engage. I parked the truck that evening and had not touched it in the following month and a half. On December 10, 2004 my wife canceled the insurance sinse my plan was to leave it parked until spring or I could afford to get it fixed.
March 2004, came outside to see fire deptartment at my barn. Fully engulfed in flames. Had 2002 f-350 in there. Fire was so bad unable to detect cause. Total loss about $200,000.00 Truck was suspect. Lost everything, even a lot of household stuff that was stored in the building.
Please include 2000 F-550's to the fire list. My wife and I are Volunteer Fire Fighters for Mountain River Volunteer. In October we were toned out to a MVA (Vehicle Rollover). We arrived at the Fire Station and parked our 2000 F-550 7 feet in front of the bay doors. Killed the engine and left for the accident in our brush truck. Upon returning to the station we found our 2000 F-550 fully engulfed with flames shooting some 60 ft in the air.
The truck was totaled. The only damage to the fire station was melted spray foam on the inside of the bay doors. Thank God!
A fire declared to my vehicle (F-250 2003 Diesel engine 6 liters) in November, 26, 2004. My truck was completely destroyed besides having caused at the same time damages in my property. I would like knowing if the other cases as I are known this day. One of my friends informed me that further to a bulletin, 62 cases of fire were listed with Ford. Saddened for my spelling mistakes. My truck was completely destroyed, and also having caused damages to my property for approximately $45,000.
Drove home from work last night and parked my F-250 Superduty Truck. Went inside for dinner. 45 minutes later I went outside to get my cell phone from my truck and saw flames coming out of my front wheel well. I quickly put the fire out with a garden hose but I have no idea how much damage has been done.
When the fire department helped me push the truck pot of the way there was a pile of melted rubber on the driveway. The fire came from under the hood on the drivers side but I am at a loss as to how this could happen to a vehicle that was parked and turned off.
My 1999 Ford F350 caught fire just after I got home from work, causing it to be totaled. I own my own construction business and this is the truck I work out of everyday. I feel like Ford owes me a truck.
