ON DECEMBER 22, 2004, MY 2000 FORD F150 TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT HAD BEEN PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF FOR 30 MINUTES. LUCKILY MY WIFE HAD COME HOME AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE THE REST OF THE FAMILY WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE TRUCK AND OPEN THE HOOD, FLAMES WERE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THEM OUT WITH A GARDEN HOSE. THE REPAIR ESTAMITE WAS OVER $9,000. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED NEXT TO THE HOUSE AND ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WERE NOT DAMAGED. I HAVE BEEN READING WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HEARD OF A RECALL TODAY. I HAVE PICTURES IF NEEDED.*AK
