2000 FORD F-150 Complaints

MY TRUCK WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF, 5MINS LATER THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE SORRY I NEED SOMEBODY WHO SPEAKS SPANISH. *TR

MY F-150 WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING MALL FOR APPROX. THREE HRS. WHEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND TOTALED TWO OTHER CARS THAT WERE ALSO PARKED ALONG SIDE OF MY TRUCK. MY F-150 WAS PARKED FOR A LENGTH OF TIME WITH NO ONE INSIDE WHEN IT JUST WENT ABLAZE. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TOTALED ALONG WITH THE OTHER TWO CARS. FORD HAD BEEN NOTIFIED AND NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE. *TR

MY WINDOW ON MY FORD F150 WAS LEAKING. WATER LEAKED INTO THE CAB AND INTO THE GEM AND FUSEBOX. FIRST, MY FAN STAYED ON AFTER THE KEY WAS REMOVED. THEN A BUZZING SOUND CAME FROM AROUND THE FUSEBOX. THEN A BEEPING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM AROUND THE FUSEBOX. LASTLY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE WHOLE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING. IT WAS HARD TO DISTINGUISH WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, FLAT TIRE, BROKEN AXLE? I PARKED THE TRUCK, AND WENT TO START IT AGAIN, AND THE SAME SHUDDERING CAME FROM THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I BEGAN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH F150'S, EXPEDITIONS, NAVIGATORS, ETC WERE ALL HAVING THIS PROBLEM FROM YEARS 97-03. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL - THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS! *TR
