Approximately 1 hour after being parked in parking stall at my residence, neighbors noticed fire coming from the hood and underneath the vehicle (the fire originated on the driver's side). They attempted to put out the fire and called 911. San jose fire department responded to the call and finished putting out the fire. The vehicle had visible burnt wiring, right side fender damage from heat (inside and outside) and the right driver's side tire sustained damage due to melting debris falling on tire. The fire department took a report of the incident. As I have relayed this event to others, they have mentioned that this is probably a "recall fire" and that I should report this incident.

Brakes- don't know what part would be considered defective. Have had it in atleast 9 separate occasions to anderson Ford in grand island, ne 120 diers Ave 68803. They have adjusted the camber on the brakes, replaced pads, and have had to adjust the alignment. Haven't had it in since Dec. 27, 2001, although brakes are pulling again. (anderson Ford said they would not warranty again). Tire- the entire sidewall has blown out with no holes in the tread area, caused me to loose control and go into ditch, have minor findor and paint damage did not report. Worker at garret tire at 3004 w. Old potash hwy, grand island 68803 said that the valve stem had a cut in it and caused the pressure to run low. Said the sidewall was basically running on the asphalt and that is what caused the side of the tire to completely blow out. Was not low when I started my travel. I have pictures and also have the tire and witnesses.
