All personal belongings were lost and garage structure was severely damaged. The product was being used in a normal way.

Has multiple speeds.). Incident: I�m having a huge safety issue where within months, two (2) motor control boards with minimum use on my Sole F60 Treadmill has caught on fire. The first motor control board caught on fire and there was burnt damage on the motor control circuit board. This board was simply replaced with a new one. Within a month and half the new motor control board caught on fire. This is the second time a motor control board has caught on fire and there was significantly more burnt damage to the circuit board. I have gotten to the point where I feel the Sole treadmill is no longer safe. I can keep replacing these motor control boards, however there is a huge fear of my safety of my home and my family that lives in it. After all there already has been two (2) fire hazards directly caused by the Sole product, with normal use. I have contacted Sole and shared pictures with them and they did not want to help with this safety issue.
