AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 18 HOURS, MY 1994 FORD F-150 XLT PICKUP CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS DESTROYED. THE FIRE APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I NOW KNOW THAT FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN IT'S VEHICLES AND DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM COMPLETELY OUT OF THE INVESTMENT OF THE TRUCK AS MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT PAY FOR FIRES THAT ARE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT YOU HAVE NOT HELD THEM TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LIVES AND PROPERTY LOST. WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS. THOUSANDS OF CAR FIRES HAVE STARTED DUE TO THE FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL CUT-OFF AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *NM
