THE SPEED CONTROL SENSOR FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL LOCATED ON THE MASTER CYLINDER CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED A HOLE IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESEVOIR. PUT THE FIRE OUT AND REPLACED THE COMPLETE MASTERCYLINDER. OLD PART WAS TURNED IN AS PART OF THE CORE CHARGE FOR REPLACEMENT. COST FOR REPLACEMENT WITH MASTER CYLINDER W/O SPEED CONTROL WAS $68.

FORD F150 TRUCK 1994 ENGINE FIRE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH CRUISE CONTROL TRUCK WAS USED AND TURNED OFF. ENGINE FIRE SPONTAEOUSLY STARTED AND CAUSE A TOTAL LOSS OF THE TRUCK FIRE DEPT SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. OTHER DAMAGE INCLUDED CONCRETE DRIVEWAY WHICH WAS CHARRED AND PITTED OUT DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT. ONLY HAD LIABILITY ON THE VECHICLE SO NO INSURANCE CLAIM WAS ABLE TO BE FILED. THIS INCIDENT SOUNDS LIKE THE ONES INVOLVED IN THE FORD F150 RECALLS. I CALLED TO REPORT IT TO INSURANCE FOR SAFETY OF OTHER F150 OWNERS BUT NO ONE WANTED MY INFORMATION. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO REPORT IT UNTIL I SAW THE ARTICLE ABOUT EXTENDING THE RECALL INVESTIGATION TO 1995 MODELS. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO EXTEND IT DOWN TO AT LEAST 1994. THANK YOU SUSAN MARSHALL

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL." TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE 3-4 YEARS AGO AND WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL SENSOR ON THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. I NOTICED THE SMOKE COMING FROM MY TRUCK WHICH WAS SITTING NOT RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PUT OUT THE FIRE MYSELF, BUT NOT BEFORE IT DID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK."

I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SAME PART OF THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUTOFF SWITCH THAT HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED FOR THE 2000 F-150 PICKUP. MY TRUCK IS NOT A 2000, BUT IT IS 1994 F-150. MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK THEN ONE DAY MY BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKIHG, SO I CHECKED THE BULBS THINKING THEY WERE BAD.I FOUND THE BULBS WERE STILL GOOD, SO I CHECKED THE FUSES.ONE OF THE FUSES WERE BAD. WHEN I REPLACED THE FUSE I WAS UNPREPARED FOR THE SMOKE THAT CAME ROLLING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY TRUCK. IN A PANIC, I POPPED THE HOOD OF MY TRUCK AND PULLED THE WIRES OUT OF THE SWITCH JUST IN TIME TO SEE THE SWITCH ON THE FRONT OF MY MASTER CYLINDER GLOWING RED HOT, AND THE PLASTIC MELTING IN A SMOKE CLOUD OF BRAKE FLUID. I HAVE JUST REPLACED THE PART AND AM CONCERNED OF THE PROBLEM REOCCURRING AGAIN IF THIS IS A RECALLED PART, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.
