The contact owns a 2002 Ford f150. The vehicle was repaired according to NHTSA campaign id number 05v388000 (vehicle speed control). A harness was installed, but it did not remedy the harness and vehicle speed control switch failures because there was no leak at the time. Currently, brake fluid is leaking around the switch from the master cylinder and the cruise control. The dealer and manufacturer stated that they previously repaired the cruise control switch, but the contact disagrees. The dealer agrees that it needs to be repaired currently; however, the contact would be responsible for the expenses. The failure mileage was 140,000.
