Description of the problem | My first ford f150 had a engine fire as a result of the faulty brake fluid switch. I was told this truck was not part of the recall and didn't have this problem by ford customer service when i called to report it. Since then the recall was expanded. My current ford f150 has a leaky brake fluid switch and my cruise control doesn't work. This switch is the one that was put on by ford after i brought it in for the recall. Ford said this is not an additional recall. I am concerned that this will result in another fire and then unfortunately be recalled later. There are numerous articles online about brake fluid leaks continuing to cause fires in ford vehicles. Please help me resolve this simple problem now before it becomes a large problem. P. S. I choose "fireball" in equipment because i didn't see ford listed as the manufacturer. |
