NHTSA complaint #10223411, filed 2008-04, 34,000 miles“I drove my 1992 Ford E-350 15 passenger van to indiana on friday. I used the cruise control on the highway. I arrived at 5:00 pm. And parked. At about 1 a.m. I moved the vehicle to a flatter area, so I could sleep in it at the campground. Shortly before 4 a.m. I awoke to a smell and saw flames shooting over the windshield, coming from the engine. Luckily I was able to get out of the vehicle, which burned completely in minutes. The local fire department responded. I contacted Ford and I am now waiting for a written response. I later learned of the recall on faulty speed deactivation switches. …”
NHTSA complaint #10140335, filed 2005-10, 56,000 miles“Cruise control would not disengage at approx. 70 MPH when driving on the freeway.

I was only able to do so by applying extreme pressure to the brakes and praying that they would not fail. I quickly turned off the ignition and put the van in park. I had the van towed to shamrock Ford in dublin, ca. …”
