OUR TRUCK WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WE HAD ENTERED A STORE ABOUT TWELVE MINUTES BEFORE. NO ONE WAS IN THE TRUCK AND IT WAS TURNED OFF. SOMEONE CAME RUNNING INTO THE STORE AND YELLED THERE IS A GREEN FORD F 150 ON FIRE IN THE PARKING LOT. WE RAN OUT TO SEE THE TRUCK UP IN FLAMES. AFTER THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT THE CAB HAD MELTED AND ALL THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE.WAS BURNED AND MELTED. THE WINDSHIELD HAD. RACKED AND BROKEN IN MANY PIECES FROM THE HOT FIRE. HAD AAA TOW THE TRUCK TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS TOTALED CALLED FORD CO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS OF A SPONTANEOUS FIRE WITH THESE TRUCKS. TODAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY DETERMINED IT SHOULD JUST BE HANDLED WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY. AAA HAD NOT SENT THEM ANY PAPERWORK YET ON THE INCIDENT. BUT THEY DETERMINED WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT EVIDENCE WAS GOING TO BE REPORTED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO HANDLE IT. FOUND ON GOOGLE A COMPLAINT SIGHT WHERE 44 PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THE FORD CO AND THE WAY THEY JUST DUMPED THIS ISSUE. *JS

WE ARE THE OWNERS OF A 2009 FORD F-150. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE DOOR AND THAT WE NEEDED TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS. WE FOLLOWED PROCEDURE AND TOOK OUR TRUCK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP & THE RECALL ISSUE WAS FIXED (OR SO WE THOUGHT) AND WE NEVER GAVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT. WELL, FAST FORWARD TO A LITTLE OVER 1 MONTH AGO ( APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AFTER THE 'RECALL' ISSUE WAS FIXED ), OUR TRUCK WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOT A MAJOR ACCIDENT, BUT A FENDER BENDER. WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE HIT OUR TRUCK, THE SIDE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED/ UNLATCHED. THE ORIGINAL RECALL STATED IT WOULD/ COULD UNLATCH DURING A SIDE IMPACT, BUT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE FIXED THAT. IN OUR MINDS THAT PROBLEM WAS FIXED & WE HAD PEACE OF MIND. WELL OUR TRUCK DID NOT RECEIVE A SIDE IMPACT, BUT A REAR END IMPACT, AND THE DOOR ISSUE APPARENTLY WAS NOT FIXED AT ALL. THE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED/ UNLATCHED AND MIND YOU, THIS WAS A FAIRLY MINOR ACCIDENT. ONLY PROPERTY DAMAGE, NO BODILY INJURIES. I AM NOW SCARED FOR OUR SAFETY AS I DON'T FEEL MY FAMILY IS SAFE IN OUR TRUCK SHOULD ANOTHER ACCIDENT OCCUR, ESPECIALLY A BIGGER IMPACT ACCIDENT, & HAVING THE DOOR UNLATCH LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF PROPERLY PROTECTING THOSE INSIDE. I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE? MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE HERE. *TR
