CONSUMER COMPLAINT REGARDING REFUND REIMBURSEMENT FOR STEELTEX RADIAL TIRE RECALL.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** *MR *SC *JB

AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE FOR 20 MINUTES, THEN, WHILE WALKING TO THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER SMELLED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE HOOD WOULD NOT OPEN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED, AND THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE. *AK THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. PER THE INVOICE, THE WIRING GOING TO THE CRUISE CONTROL DE-ACTIVATION SWITCH CAUGHT FIRE. THE DEACTIVATION SWITCH AND HARNESS WAS REPLACED. *SC *JB

ELECTRICAL HARNESS (WHICH INCLUDES THE CRUISE CONTROL, HORN, ETC) CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED.WE WERE ABLE TO REPLACE THE BURNED OUT PARTS. I WENT BACK RECENTLY TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TO ASK IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL AND THEY SAID THAT EXCURSIONS WERE NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND IT WAS JUST COINCIDENCE. I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CATCH FIRE AGAIN.

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKE AND TURNING SIGNAL INADVERTENTLY WENT OUT. WHEN TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR SERVICE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL MALFUNCTIONING. *AK *NM
