UNDERHOOD FIRE ON 1998 FORD F-150 WHILE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED SEVERAL HOURS PRIOR TO FIRE. WAS AWAKEN BY FIRE DEPARTMENT STATING THEY PUT OUT FIRE. TWO DAYS AFTER FIRE WE RECEIVED A NOTICE ON A SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH. EVERYTHING LETTER STATES IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR VEHICLE. WE SUBMITTED CLAIM TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR CLAIM STATING "THAT DUE TO EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THEY WERE UNABLE TO VERIFY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THEY MADE THIS DETERMINATION BY OBSERVING PICTURES THAT WE SENT VIA EMAIL TO THEM. WE ASKED HOW THEY COULD MAKE THIS DETERMINATION WITHOUT SOMEONE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE AND ONLY LOOKING AT PICTURES AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE ON MOST ALL COMPLAINTS MADE TO THEM OF VEHICLE FIRES OF THIS NATURE AND THAT OUR CASE WAS CONSIDERED CLOSED. WHEN I ASKED MR KELLAR TO LET ME SPEAK WITH HIS BOSS HE STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT TRANSFER ME TO HIS BOSS BECAUSE HE CONSIDERED OUR CASE CLOSED AND THAT I DID NOT NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION PERTAINING TO HIS BOSS. *NM
