Feds Probe Ford F-150 Engine Fires |
||||||||||||||||
|
November 24, 2004
The fires occurred while the vehicles were parked and the engine was off, with no accidents or injuries reported, the agency said. ConsumerAffairs.com has also received numerous complaints about Ford truck engine fires but the complaints are not restricted to 2000 model year vehicles. Douglas of Sharpsburg, GA, reported that his 1997 F-150 Super Cab burned to the ground while parked outside his home. "Please do not park these trucks in your garage," Douglas cautioned. Ryan of Cypress, TX, parked his 1997 F-150 outside a Houston fire station, where he works. This turned out to be an appropriate location since the truck burst into flames later that day. "I heard a booming sound (like a car backfire). I sprung from my chair and looked out the back door of the fire station to see the front of my truck on fire," Ryan said. "My wife drove it to work, parked it in a parking space and 7 hours later the vehicle burst into flames! Now we have no truck," wrote Douglas of Columbia, SC. Report Your Experience
