“The vehicle was parked overnight and the consumer was unable to start the ignition. The consumer opened the hood, and saw wires melted. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cruise control switch caused the melting of the wiring harness and the brake fluid reservoir. All of the brake fluid leaked onto the engine. The wiring harness was burned completely from the engine to the steering column. The consumer was aware that later model Ford 150's were experiencing the same problem. There was no horn or cruise control and the air bag light flashed.”
