The ignition switch was left in the "on" position while vehicle was not running for approximately seven hours, apparently the fuel pump was not told by pressure regulator or computer to turn off. Fuel pump pumped approximately fifteen gallons of fuel into motor, by not knowing this at the time of trying to start vehicle a fire started in the engine compartment, within minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames, vehicle was totally destroyed, luckily no one was hurt or killed. Fire dept. Police on the scene of incident, please pursue this issue so that it will not happen to other innocent people and possibly cause fatalities, I could have been killed, and also my family, I also lost a very nice truck as the result of this incident, I feel that Ford Motor Company is responsible for this incident. They are also responsible for the loss of my vehicle which should be replaced by Ford Motor Co. I also feel that a thorough investigation should be done on the vehicle, to repair and/or replace defective parts so that fatalities will not happen in the future. Ford Motor Co. Was contacted, and they wrote me a letter stating that they were not responsible and that also nothing would be done to solve this matter and nothing to replace my vehicle. Please contact me so that this matter can be investigated thoroughly. My first contact with Ford Motor Co. Was that Ford wanted me to make arrangements to send my truck to an authorized dealer to investigate the cause, then a short time later I received a letter from Ford Motor Co. Stating that they were finished and did not want to even see the vehicle. Please respond, as though you see that Ford Motor Co. Is not ! thank you, . robert robinson III. 2958 cemetery rd.
