Consumer Description

2002 FORD WINDSTAR - BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON. GETTING OVERHEATED & CAUSED NEW BATTERY TO CORRODE AND CAR TO DIE. WE HAD TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE. READ ABOUT FAULTY CRUISE SWITCH CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WE CHECKED THE CRUISE LIGHT AND IT NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2001. IT IS THE VEHICLE OUR NEWLY PERMITTED 15 YEAR OLD SON IS DRIVING. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? IT IS SCARY TO THINK THE BREAKS COULD GO OUT ON OUR SON OR THAT A FIRE COULD START. *TR
