| 1990 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH | OUR 1990 FORD RANGER WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY ON THE EVENING OF NOVEMBER 5. ON SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6TH, WE DISCOVERED THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK DESTROYED BY FIRE. THE CLUSTER OF GAUGES WAS COMPLETELY MELTED AND GONE. THE DASH SUNK IN OVER THE STEERING COLUMN. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHERE THE FLAME APPARENTLY VENTED THROUGH THE DEFROSTER VENT ON THE DASH. THE HEADLINER IS BLACK. THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL PELTED WITH DROPS OF HARDENED PLASTIC. POLICE CAME TO INVESTIGATE AND SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN ALTERED IN ANY WAY. NO AFTER MARKET RADIO OR CD PLAYER OR ANY ELECTRICAL DEVISE HAS EVER BEEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. IT SIMPLY CAUGHT ON FIRE ON ITS OWN WHICH IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WE IN NO WAY CAUSED. WE HAVE NOT TRIED TO REPLACE ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. WE WERE ALSO NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALL TO CORRECT WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN EXPERIENCE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE ENDURED BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. THE TRUCK IS SITTING IN OUR GARAGE AWAITING ANY POSSIBLE ACTION AS A RESULT OF THIS COMPLAINT. *JB |
