| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I took my 1998 ford explorer sport to my local dealership because my brake lights were not working (i can only guess how long they were not operating). after doing a diagnostic they determined i had to replace my (forgive me, as i am not mechanical, but it is all on my receipt) cruise control harness as the component had completely melted. my cruise control had stopped working a couple of months earlier, but i had not bothered to fix it. the cruise control had gotten so hot that it burned a hole through my master cylinder so that it also needed to be replaced. i am notifying you because i feel my and my family's safety were jeopardized in three ways: inoperable brake lights, the fire hazard of the cruise control, and consequently poor brakes.*ak |
