I own a 2001 Ford F-150. On December 16,2006 it caught fire and is now considered a total loss by our insurance company. It has completely burned to the ground. Only the shell of the vehicle and the two flat rear tires are left. The insurance company at this time has not told me the reason this has happened. On Dec. 16th my fiance had driven it into town that morning and returned home and parked it in the yard next to our mobile home. He arrived back at home at about 9:30 am. He took another vehicle down to our neighbors house to do some work on it and about 2:00 pm someone else in our neighborhood came to get him saying his truck was on fire. The fire department said the fire did start in the engine compartment. As a result of the fire our siding on our house was melted and we had a motor home parked in front of it also that had some damage to it. If it was a windy day the flames would have reached the house and it would have burnt to the ground. We have not had any problems with the truck before this had happened. Now that this has happened I have heard of people talking about other truck fires and have found other incidents of this happening while doing research on the internet. This is how I found out about this site and I thought I should report our fire.
I own a 2001 Ford F-150 with 82,000 miles on it and I have had problems with the spark plugs on the heads. There is no recall on the heads which I've read in many different websites this seems like a common problem that many 99-03 Ford F-150 owners are going through. Ford Motor Company needs to make a recall and fix this problem soon or else they will lose a lot of customers.
The odometer of a 2001 F150 Ford supercrew shows intermittently on the instrument cluster. The dealer wants to replace the cluster stating it is required by the state to see the odometer mileage and it may be tied into the vehicle anti-theft device. I was under the impression the the FMVSS had a requirement that the odometer should normally work for the life of the vehicle. Ford does have technical bullitins internally that show they know of the wire cracking problem on the clusters.
