My vehicle had been parked since 7.30 am in my parents driveway until 4.15 when it just caught on fire and completely burnt. Destroying a major portion of my parents driveway pavement. It appears to have started at the firewall of the truck as I said it was parked and the ignition was off. I have my truck keys with me so I can show proof positive the vehicle ignition was off. I have done some research and found that there was a recall on my vehicle in Jan. 2005 I did not then nor have I ever received a recall notice from Ford or anyone. My concern is who is going to repair the damage to my parents drive way and since it is a recall issue do I not deserve to have my vehicle replaced with vehicle of my choice?

Was approaching a stop light, when all of a sudden my radio went out, my gauges started to go crazy, then my truck had shut off and turned back on. After that I noticed smoke coming from under the hood went to press my brakes, I had no brakes. So I turned into a parking lot, where now my gauges had pegged all to one side, more smoke was coming from under the hood, and now I still didn't have no brakes or power steering. So I slammed the truck into park, then shut it off. I popped the hood and noticed a small fire under the master cylinder and the brake lines going to the master cylinder where fire engine red. Tried putting out the fire but had a defective fire extinguisher. The fire spread and has severely damaged the truck, it is at the point of no return.
