What owners wrote
I took my 2001 f150 truck in for service and I was told the fuel pump needed to be replaced the next call I got was to tell me my truck had caught on fire during the test drive and burnt to the ground neither AC collins ford or ford motor company will claim responsibility for this they both say it was not their fault but ford never sent an inspector.
Hit a bump and front gas tank strap broke and dragged for 2 miles leaking gas,$40, worth. Stopped in parking lot with gas running,fire department and cops arrived. Truck towed to lot. Still not attempted repairs.
