Consumer Description

THE CRUISE CONTROL CUT OUT SWITCH ON MY 1996 FORD F-150 CAUGHT ON FIRE BETWEEN NOON 7/23 AND 09:15 AM 7/24/2005 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED SWITCH OFF IN MY GARAGE. THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR REMAINED INTACT BUT WAS DAMAGED BY THE FIRE. IF IT HAD DUMPED THE FLUID I SHOULD HAVE LOST MY HOUSE ,MY CAR AND PROBABLY MY LIFE. THIS ITEM HAS RESULTED IN A RECALL ON SOME LATE MODEL TRUCKS AND SUV'S BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT THE SAME SWITCH AS THE RECALL UNITS WAS ON MY TRUCK. SYMPTOMS INCLUDED THE CRUISE CONTROL BECOMING INOPERATIVE A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THE FIRE. THANKS T HOGAN. *JB
