“My 1994 Ford f-150 caught fire while it was parked at my place of work.I noticed the smoke and was able to extinguish it before causing much damage. The problem was with the cruise control switch which you people are now investigating. My understanding is that you are only investigating years 1995 and newer yet my vehicle is a 1994. You may want to consider expanding your investigation to include older models of the f-150.”
