NHTSA complaint: 1995 FORD F-150 — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
I PARKED MY 1995 FORD F150 PICKUP AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES, MY DAUGHTER NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED A FIRE CONSUMING AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR MOUNTED TO THE FRONT OF MY MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. I PUT THE FIRE OUT AND WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK WITHOUT REMOVING THE FUSE WHICH CONTROLLED POWER TO THE ABS SYSTEM. I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS SOMETHING REPORTED ON A NATIONAL NEWS SERVICE AS CAUSING HOUSE FIRES AND OTHER PROBLEMS.
