Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We own a 1993 ford f350. it was parked in front of our house attached garage. it was not running. my husband went outside and walked between the truck and garage. he smelled smoke, looked toward the pickup and saw smoke coming out from under the hood. he quickly raised the hood and put the fire out. our cruise control had not been working for some time. my husband purchased the switch from canton motors and replaced it. the cruise control worked again, for awhile. it has not caught on fire again, yet but i'm afraid we have another defective switch. ford has a recall on 1993 pickups now for that problem but when i checked our vin, it states there is no recall on it. i believe that ford should reimburse us for the switch we purchased and replace it. the first switch is possibly available. the current one is still on the pickup. i talked to ford customer service to resolve this problem but no help was offered and the lady was rather rude. i do not remember the date of the fire. the cruise control does not work now. *tr |
