“On august 24, 2001, a fire spontaneously began under the hood of my 1991 Ford f150 pickup truck while it was turned off and parked in the driveway at night. The fire caused expensive damage to the vehicle and would have probably caught my house on fire had the truck been parked in the garage. I checked with the local Ford dealership (centroplex Ford in killeen, texas, which is now automax Ford) about Ford's liability and they said repairs would not be covered because the factory warranty had long expired. I therefore sought compensation through my insurance company. …”
