My vehicle had been parked since 7.30 am in my parents driveway until 4.15 when it just caught on fire and completely burnt. destroying a major portion of my parents driveway pavement. it appears to have started at the firewall of the truck as I said it was parked and the ignition was off. I have my truck keys with me so I can show proof positive the vehicle ignition was off. I have done some research and found that there was a recall on my vehicle in jan. 2005 I did not then nor have I ever received a recall notice from ford or anyone. my concern IS who IS going to repair the damage to my parents drive way and since it IS a recall issue do I not deserve to have my vehicle replaced with vehicle of my choice? *tr

Was approaching a stop light, when all of a sudden my radio went out, my gauges started to go crazy, then my truck had shut off and turned back on. After that I noticed smoke coming from under the hood went to press my brakes, I had no brakes. So I turned into a parking lot, where now my gauges had pegged all to one side, more smoke was coming from under the hood, and now I still didn't have no brakes or power steering. So I slammed the truck into park, then shut it off. I popped the hood and noticed a small fire under the master cylinder and the brake lines going to the master cylinder where fire engine red. Tried putting out the fire but had a defective fire extinguisher. The fire spread and has severely damaged the truck, it IS at the point of no return. *tr

I own a 1995 ford F-150 4X4. I bought the truck in december of 1998, and it had approximately 87,000 miles on it. I started having trouble with the cruise control shortly after I bought the truck, but I also had trouble with the speedometer. I thought that the cruise control was caused by the speedometer problem. I also had trouble with the automatic transmission, which I contributed to the speedometer fluctuation. since then, I have had the rearend rebuilt, and have replaced the transmission. I still experience problems with the transmission, and the cruise control. I have never had a fire in the engine compartment, but I am wondering if the recent information about a short in the cruise control could be causing the trouble. all work has been done by a reputable ford garage, and they have not been able to find the reason for the continued problems.

My F150 pickup has virtually no rust but 2 days ago I was underneath and saw rust spots on the engine oil pan and big bubbles under the paint so I thought I would scrape them off and rustproof but as soon as I scraped the oil poured out and when I put pressure on the rust spots (about 6 square inches)they were soft. if the oil pan would have failed at highway speeds I think it would be a serious safety issue. I am having the pan replaced oct 11 and will keep it. *nm

I have a dual fuel tank system. The rear tank IS pumping gas into the forward tank. The forward tank IS overflowing past the filler cap and spilling to the ground. these symptoms are indentical to the 1993 f-series fuel systems problems nhtsa ID # 00v-424, mfg campaign # 00s57. I just went to the local ford dealer. They looked up my vin and said that my vehicle IS not listed under this recall. The dealer IS more than willing to help. I was told that the service technician would first have to troubleshoot the cause and find out if the failure IS due to the same part being defective as the recall items. Then I would have to battle ford to pay for the fix. I was told that they sometimes have trouble getting ford to pay for repairs if the vehicle IS not listed on the recall, even if it IS the same part malfunctioning. I am going to begin repairing the vehicle soon and would appreciate any help you can give me. Having seen that these same symptoms have appeared on earlier models I have come to the conclusion that this IS not an isolated incident and suspect that other same year vehicles as my may develop this problem.
