Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1992 ford ranger spontaneously combusted on the morning of june 6, 2006. the cruise control went out unexpectedly and wouldn't start. i left it overnight and received a phone call from the police at 5 a.m in the morning saying my truck was on fire. apparently it had caught fire (while it was off) and completely totaled the entire vehicle, leaving me at a complete loss (insurance did not cover this type of claim). being a 19 year old in college this came as a complete nightmare financially. ford has refused to do anything about it. i will never drive a ford again. vehicle was towed to a nearby junkyard, where the brand new 1,000 clutch and new tires were removed and sold for someone else's profit. i got nothing. *nm
