| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Pulled my 1998 ford ranger into a store parking lot. i was getting ready to park when i could smell something burning. stopped the truck. smoke was coming from under the hood. i popped the hood and saw an electrical plug burning with flames. i was able to blow the flames out before much else was damaged. i was able to drive it to a ford dealership. they told me that the cruise control plug is what caught fire. it also damaged my reservoir for the brake fluid. they are replacing the master cylinder and the cruise control plug. of course, this is at my own expense, not fords. *tr |
