NHTSA complaint: 1995 AMERICAN VAN FORD F150 — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTED VAN IN DRIVEWAY WIRING CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF THE VAN THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE OVERDRIVE. I CALLED FORD THEY PUT A CLAIM ON IT AND SAID I WOULD HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE IT COULD CATCH ON FIRE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE ON THE VEHICLE OR A UPDATED TAG. FORD SAID IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, BUT WITHOUT A UPDATED TAG OR INSURANCE THERE IS NO TOWING COMPANY THAT WILL TOW IT.
