The consumer states that the cruise control switch leaked brake fluid back up through the controls on the top of the steering column at the flashers. As a result it shorted the controls out. The consumer had the cruise control module taken out by the dealership. The consumer noticed oil at the flashers about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and did not know what it was. The consumer had no turn signals or brake lights, and that is when he took the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership checked for recall and did not find any recalls on the truck. Consumer was informed that the same switch was in his vehicle that was being recalled on other trucks. The consumer has had sensor problems with the check engine light on the dashboard.

Consumer parked truck Wednesday night, when he got back into truck the next morning it would start once but not move out of gear. It would not come out of park. The engine was barely running and missing. There was a smell of smoke. Turned engine off due to the odd smell. Inspected under hood. There had been a fire that evidently burned out itself. Cruise control quit earlier. The truck could not be driven due to this problem. Afraid to move or attempt to repair anything for fear it may catch on fire again. Consumer called Ford, no recall on that particular model, but they were having a problem with those vehicles, but will not do anything until there was a recall. The most fire damage was seen on the master cylinder, suspected that the brake fluid may have had a hand in the fire along with the sensor. Was missing brake fluid upon inspection.

My brake fluid appears black as coffee at 14,000 miles in seven months. Is this premature degradation? the brakes work ok and local Ford dealer says this color is normal. Everything I read about brake fluid says it should stay amber colored. VIN #1ftrw07663ka17409 have other f150's pickups had brake failures? should I be concerned? thank you, jack flannery.
