This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
2002 Ford F150 supercab burned up in my driveway at 5 am in the morning. The vehicle had not been driven for a day and a half. We were woken up by the car alarm and two loud bangs. The truck was fully engulfed and was on fire next to the house and fence and 2 other cars. Thank goodness the truck wasn't in the garage or parked forward in the driveway. The fence was destroyed and the two vans damaged by flames. The truck was a total loss. Fire department stated that it was a faulty cruise control device. Not driven for almost two days and the cruise control almost killed my family"?" now we are out thousands even with insurance covering part of the loss. Nothing would have replaced the lives of my family had the house gone up. Ford knows this problem is a ticking time bomb and makes very little effort to save lives.
Drove my 2002 F 150 approximately 25 miles home and parked it. The truck has never given me any problems and wasn't making any noise. About 30 minutes later I noticed a orange fire ball realizing it was my truck. The truck was fully involved within minutes. The entire front end of the truck melted away. The drivers side wheel, hood, and everything connected to the engine block is non existent. This is in addition to the cab which there is nothing left either. I am the second owner of this truck, never received a recall notice in the mail. Im not sure what caused the fire. Fire marshall said it started in the engine compartment.
