| Dear ford co . on nov 2 2005 i received a letter on my 1994 ford f 150 it told me that the cruise control could catch fire. i took it to the dealer ship and they disconnected it . when they sent a card saying the part was in . when they fixed it, the air bag light came on. i took it back they said it was not due to anything they had done. we didn't have this problem before . now the cruise control doesn't work or the horn. and i am afraid neither does the air bag. i know this could be dangerous. would you please advise . they said it would take several hundred dollars to fix it. *nm | |||
