The contact inspected the vehicle and determined that the electrical wires and insulation that was under the vehicle had caused the fire. The contact was unsure as to whether or not the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was the fire chief that was called to the scene of the fire. There were no injuries. The failure mileage was 2,700.

Reported at 2,700 miles, May 2014 Fire

The ignition module on both of my foreman's vehicles have gone out around the same time period. One of them was left stranded for two hours in 110 degree weather as the truck failed to start. Both trucks were around 50,000 miles and were past their factory warranty for parts. Both of these trucks were purchased new in april of 2014. I believe this is more than coincidence. These repairs are going to cost my company thousands of dollars.
