description: TURNED INTO A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AND TRUCK STARTED TO SMOKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER HEATING BUT WHEN I PARKED I GOT OUT AND THE TRUCK STARTED HAVING BLACK SMOKE THEN FLAMES CAME FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE HOOD OVER THE TIRE. I CALLED 911. WHEN THE FIRE TRUCKS ARRIVED THE HOOD WAS IN FLAMES AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WAS BURNED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK AND HAVE TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. SOMEONE THAT WORKS WITH MY SON HAD AN F150 THAT BURNED 6 MONTHS AGO. AFTER WE LOOKED UP THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS I FOUND OUT THIS HAS HAPPENED ALOT. I ALSO FOUND A RECALL ON A PART FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS. HOW ARE PEOPLE INFORMED OF RECALLS? I LIVED A THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 7 YEARS AND HAD THE SAME PHONE NUMBER. THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM PALMETTO FORD IN CHARLESTON SC HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED. IF I HAD NOT GOT OUT I WOULD HAVE BURNED WITH THE TRUCK. IS IT THE OWNER RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK FOR RECALLS. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER BUT I AM. *TR
