1 Paint problem of the 1995 Ford F-250

Failure Date: 11/24/2014

Truck was parked in back of my driveway and had been there for two weeks. The truck spontaniously caught on fire. A neighbor called me at 3 am or so to tell me my truck was on fire and by the time I went to go out with a fire extinguisher and try to put it out the engine compartment and the cab were fully on fire. My fire extinguisher did no good fighting this fire. The fire dept pulled up because my wife had called them and they took 20 min to put the fire out. The tires were partly melted the engine compartment and cab are gone(burned) and the back of the truck bed is not touched or even the paint burnt off.

2 Paint problem of the 2002 Ford F-250

Failure Date: 06/14/2007

Severe rust forming on fenderwells of bed on both sides. Truck is only 5 years old. Complained to Ford last year but I was 1 week past my warranty of 5 years 60,000 miles. Bed needs to be replaced because chips of paint and rust fly off while driving. My mechanic has the same exact truck with same exact problem.
