Wire assembly to brake light switch snagged on to and then wrapped around the steering column several times. This resulted in a "noose effect" on the steering column that prevented hard right turns of the automobile and eventually broke off the brake light switch assembly from the brake pedal. This also resulted in brake light failure. Spoke to Ford road side assistance representative and informed them that they should not be giving drivers directions on how to start the car from a neutral gear position to bypass the interlock mechanism between brake and transmission shifter. I recommend that Ford either look at securing the cables or cover the moving components of the steering column under the dashboard.
