2000 Ford F-150 Vehicle speed control Problems

“Truck was parked in driveway when it suddenly caught on fire under the hood burning through the hood in a matter of seconds. Firefighters called to the scene said they have never seen anything like it before. I believe this fire was caused by the speed control switch, of which there have been at least two recalls on of which we were never informed about.”

“Our 2000 Ford f150 caught on fire while sitting in our carport. We had returned from across the street and parked it in the carport. About 20 minutes later our son came running in and said the truck was on fire. We think the fire was due to a recalled speed control deactivation switch. The fire cause alot of damage to the electrical system and all the plastic parts are melted.”

“2000 f150 caught fire after being parked for approximately 2-hours. Vehicle completely destroyed and two vehicles parked next to my vehicle were damaged. I was never notified by Ford motor company of any recall. I was told by an acquaintance of the cruise control switch recall that affected my truck after the fire occurred. I have made a claim for damages with Ford motor company and am awaiting a resolution.”

“First I purchased the Ford F-150 2000 year model from a car dealership on oct 28, 2019. Immediately there was problems keeping it running. They put a new battery in it 2 days later then while reaching 50 MPH my tons would drop and the truck would not accelerate I had just put 51 dollars in the tank, then I pushed the gas to the floor my rooms would go all the way to 3 then I would have to let off the gas and it seemed to do a hard switch in gear. As this continued the entire truck shook till I figured ok just pump the gas and let off before the shaking got to bad. …”

“Went to lunch. Returned to work. Was at work for approx.1 hour. Fellow employee comes to me and says there is smoke pouring out of my truck. Ran outside to see my truck on fire. Tried using extinguishers but to no avail. Called fire dept. And they arrived 5-10 minutes later. Truck was a total loss. Had no previous problems prior to this. Insurance company states it was to due a recall on this vehicle.”
