| Went to start my truck one morning and smoke came out from underneath the hood. the cruise control switch on top of the brake master cylinder burned. i turned off the ignition, opened the hood and pulled the wire from the switch. truck is 1997 ford f250. i am the original owner of the truck. i took the truck to clinton ford in rock hill, sc and they put a cruise control switch in at a cost of $292.09. now i see that there was a recall 05s28 that applies to the truck that i never received notice for. my complaint is that ford did not notify me od this safety recall. then when the recall repair was performed, i was billed for the repair. *tr | |||

| On december 4, 2004, i took my truck on about a 600 mile trip. during the trip i tried the cruise control, which worked about 5 months earlier & found it to be nonfunctional. the next day, i found myself in a position that required engaging the four-wheel drive, however it would not engage. i parked the truck that evening & had not touched it in the following month and a half. on december 10, 2004 my wife canceled the insurance since my plan was to leave it parked until spring or i could afford to get it fixed. then on january 26, 2005 @ 05:00 am, my wife woke me up saying that my truck had just exploded. i went outside & saw the fire in the engine compartment. at that time the main concentration of the fire was on the driver?s side. i notified ford, to which their reply was sorry for your inconvenience but there are no recalls on your vehicle & it is also out of warranty.*ak | |||
