Unknown cause of incident. Vehicle is available for inspection. Vehicle spontaneously burst into flames. No reproduction due to incident happening on 09/02/2022. Vehicle inspected by Fire Department and California Highway Patrol. No warnings or symptoms leading up to incident. On 09/02/2022 I attempted to help my wife that was stranded out State Route Highway 36 in her 2009 BMW 750 LI at the Van Duzen Grange. I had been hooked up to her car for approximately 10 to 15 minutes with my truck idling when she screamed, " Your truck's on FIRE!" I barely got myself out of the cab when a ball of flames shot through the dashboard. 3/4ths of the truck was consumed in fire in less than 5 minutes. Fire Department arrived approximately 10 minutes later and doused the fire. Everything in my truck was destroyed. My wife's BMW suffered severe damage to the front end.

MY 2002 F150 TRUCK DROPPED THE FUEL TANK ON 5/26/2017. MIRACULOUSLY, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WEREN'T KILLED. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE USING THE TRUCK, HELPING A FRIEND MOVE. LUCKILY, THEY JUST LEFT MCDONALDS RESTAURANT WHEN IT BROKE. THEY WERE ON A SIDE STREET AND WERE FORCED TO STAY WHERE THEY WERE. THE EASTPOINT FIRE-DEPARTMENT WERE CALLED ON SCENE DUE TO GASOLINE LEAKING OUT OF THE TANK INTO THE STREET. THEY STAYED WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL AAA WAS CALLED. THEY TOWED THE TRUCK ON A FLATBED TRUCK AND DELIVERED IT TO MY GUYS AUTO REPAIR, GRATIOT, ROSEVILLE, MI. MY TRUCK HAD A RECALL ON IT FOR SAFETY STRAPS, WHICH WERE THE CAUSE BY BREAKING. I TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AT DORIAN FORD, CLINTON TWP.,MI. 2 YEARS PRIOR, BUT WAS GIVEN A 'RUNAROUND' BY DORIAN FORD, TELLING ME TO BRING IT IN FOR REPAIR IN 2 MONTHS TIME. I FORGOT WHEN THE 2 MONTHS WERE UP AND DORIAN FORD DIDN'T TRY TO CONTACT ME. I AM FORCED NOW TO PAY OVER 1500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR MY TRUCK, WHICH I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I AM GRATEFUL BEYOND BELIEF THAT MY FAMILY OR I WEREN'T KILLED. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO IN LIGHT OF EVERYTHING IE...COMPENSATION FOR SAID REPAIR, ETC. THANK-YOU.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE GAS TANK FELL OUT. THE TANK STRAPS HAD RUSTED THROUGH DROPPING THE TANK. THE TANK CUT OPEN FROM SKIDDING ON AN INTERSTATE EXPRESSWAY RELEASING 23 GALLONS OF FUEL. FORD DEALERSHIP INSPECTED AND SAID THE STRAPS ARE UNDER RECALL AND WILL REPLACE, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE TANK. THE TANK IS ONLY DAMAGED DUE TO FAULTY STRAPS WHICH FORD HAS IDENTIFIED AS PROBLEMATIC. THE FAULTY STRAPS BY FORD HAVE RESULTED IN A LARGE FINANCIAL LOSS DUE TO TOW, CLEANUP, GAS LOSS, TIME.... AND FORD ESTIMATES $800 FOR A NEW GAS TANK. THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AND THANKFUL NOBODY WAS INJURED. I BELIEVE THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE.
