Complaint Summary

Owner Narrative
WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ON 4/09/21 AND ON 4/13/21 WHILE IT WAS PARKED AT THE YARD IT CUT ON FIRE BY ITSELF, NO EXTERNAL CAUSE OTHER THAN SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK THAT WE WERE NOT TOLD OR AWARE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM MANUFACTURE THAT HAVE 3 RECALLS THAT CAUSE FIRE. I WOULD LIKE TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION AND FIND OUT THE OFFICIAL CAUSE. WE LOST OUR RETIREMENT FUNDS AND NOW NOBODY WANTS TO BE RESPONSABLE FOR. A WITNESS RECORDED A VIDEO AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE THE FIRE WAS COMING
