Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F-250 DIESEL OF 2000 I SMELL LIKE A OIL BURNED. WHEN I REACHED MY HOUSE I OPENED THE HOOD BUT I ONLY SAW SOME SMOKE COMING NEAR THE BRAKE RESERVOIR. I SAID TO MY SON THAT TURNED "ON" THE VEHICLE AND THEM I SAW WHEN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION NEAR THE BRAKE SYSTEM BEGIN TO BURN IN FIRE. WE TURNED "OFF" THE VEHICLE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE WITH WATER. I FOUND IN THE SERVICE MANUAL OF THE VEHICLE THAT THE CONNECTION IS OF THE BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH THAT IS USED TO DEACTIVATE THE SPEED CONTROL. I CALLED THE FORD COMPANY AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION BUT WHEN I GAVE THEM MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER THEY SAID THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THAT SITUATION AND THAT REFER THE CASE TO MY INSURED COMPANY. I REPORTED THE SITUATION TO MY INSURED COMPANY "SEGUROS MULTIPLES DE PUERTO RICO". *TR
