NHTSA complaint: 2000 FORD F-150 — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PURCHASED A 2000 FORD F150 PICKUP TRUCK ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, AND ON AUGUST 12,2007 APPROX. 10 :00 P.M. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ALERTED BY OUR 8 YEAR OLD SON THAT HE SMELLED SMOKE AND SOMETHING BURNING. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE UPSTAIRS ROOMS W/ NO SIGNS SO WENT DOWNSTAIRS AND OPENED THE DOOR TO THE GARAGE AND SAW THE TRUCK ENGINE ON FIRE! HE YELLED FOR US TO GET OUT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE SO I GRABBED MY 9 MONTH OLD AND BY THE TIME WE ALL GOT OUT, THE GARAGE DOORS ALREADY BURNED OFF! OUR HOUSE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED...WE LOST EVERYTHING. *JB
