Description of the problem | For unknown reasons on 12/20/13 at 0030 hrs my truck caught on fire as it sat in my driveway. I drove the truck last on 12/14/13. The fire started in the engine compartment on the drivers side. I have owned the truck for about 8 months and it had 105000 miles on it when i purchased it. The fire department advised it could be due to some type of electrical issue near the master cylinder. I told them that i have not done any work under the hood in months and that was oil/filter change. Still under investigation. |
