What owners wrote
I bought 2010 ford f-150 on 4/12/10 and it had only 9 miles on it. On 8/28/2010 around 9:30pm my car caught on fire while it was parked for a while. The fire started under the hood. 911 was called and until firefighters arrived me and my neighbor put down they fire by ourselves. Next day, on sunday, we tow car to folsom lake ford dealership but service department was closed. On monday, 8/30/10 me and my wife went to dealership to find out what they going to do.
The truck driver heated seat wires overheated and began to catch fire. The wires melted and caused the excessive heat to catch the foam and fabric to burn. The heated seats were not turned on at the time.
