Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was on the expressway and set my cruise control at 74 mph. When i pressed my brake pedal, the cruise control wouldn't disengage and the brake pedal became hard like a rock. I then pressed the off button to turn the cruise control off but it remained engaged. I pressed harder on the brake and was able to slow down to 65 mph but as soon as i released the brake the vehicle gradually sped up to 74 mph. I exited the freeway and had to put the truck in neutral to stop. When i did this the engine raced to 4500 rpm. I then put the vehicle in park and turned it off. When traffic cleared, i restarted the engine and it raced to 4500 rpm. I put the truck in drive and made a left turn into the center left turn lane and had to put the truck back in neutral while i waited for traffic to clear so i could merge. The engine raced to 4500 rpm. When traffic cleared, i put the truck back in drive and the cruise control finally disengaged. However, at this time i smelled smoke coming from the engine compartment. Since the cruise control was disengaged at this time i decided to re-enter the freeway and return home. I haven't tried the cruise control since then but i smelled smoke again this morning when i took it into the dealership. I should note that my vehicle is a 2004 f-150 heritage edition which in essence is identical to the 2003 f-150. The 2003 f-150 was recalled for a problem with the cruise control but according to ford motor the 2004 f-150 heritage wasn't. Both the dealership and ford customer service have told me that i must pay for the repair since the vehicle is out of warranty. I think it was just an oversight that the 2004 f-150 heritage wasn't recalled along with the 2003 f-150. This incident could have been much worse than it was.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
