Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2 years ago my cruise control went out on my 2001 ford windstar and shortly after that i noticed brake fluid leaking. one morning my wife started the van and smoke poured out from under the hood and we took it to a shop in alvin texas. they replaced a fried speed control switch. when i contacted ford they said it was not under recall and would not reimburse my losses. at the repair shop they stated it is the same switch that is under recall in the other ford products. i still have the switch and have no idea what to do next. any suggestions from the nhtsa would be greatly helpful. *nm
