Consumer Description

OUR TRUCK, A 1998 FORD F150, LOST USE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL BACK IN APRIL OF 2011. WE BOUGHT IT USED IN 2008 AND SINCE WE DID NOT USE IT MUCH ANYWAY, WE DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. THEN IN LATE JUNE WE STARTED THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT GET THE GEAR SHIFTER TO MOVE. WHEN TRYING TO PULL IT INTO DRIVE, REVERSE, OR ANYTHING, IT WOULD NOT MOVE. MY HUSBAND CAME HOME FROM WORK THE NEXT MORNING AND CHANGED A FUSE AND IT WORKED FOR WEEKS. THEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR APROX. 45 MINUTES ONE AFTERNOON, CAME HOME SHUT IT OFF WENT INSIDE MY HOUSE, HEAR A LOUD POP, LOOKED OUT THE DOOR AND THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. *TT
