heading back from picking up meal at pizza hut when "POP" sound from front of truck and then cabin filled with smoke. within 20-30 seconds of exiting the car it was in flames (See attached photos) recall notification was never sent to current owner and current owner didnt own in 2009 when it was first recalled. Ford customer service informed that auto insurnace would be required to handle loss of vehicle, but current owner doesnt have comprehensive coverage so insurance company is unable to payout for loss due to fire. This recall should have been communicated to titled owner after purchase.

The contact previously filed a complaint with NHTSA concerning ODI 10139675. He felt that vehicles should be equipped with a brake light that stayed on all the time while the vehicle was not in motion because this would decrease rear end collisions at night. Also, with the technology available the manufacturer should put a sensor on the speedometer and on the brake pedal so that when the speedometer read zero mph, and in combination with the brake pedal not being depressed, the brake lights will light up and signal to other motorist that the vehicle stopped. If a motorist had the vehicle in the park or neutral position other motorist could identify that the vehicle stopped. The contact believed that this technology should be used on all vehicles whether they were automatic or manual transmissions. Updated 12/27/05.
