Reported on Aug 08, 2009
| MY FORD EXPLORER CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH IN MY ENGINE STARTED ON FIRE AND LUCKILY I WAS AT THE DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED IT WAS THERE BEING FIXED BECAUSE IT KEPT BLOWING A FUSE WHEN THE FUSE WAS FIXED THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH STARTED ON FIRE. IT LOOKS TO ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON FORDS. I HAVE A 1995 FORD EXPLORER. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE IF I DID NOT HAVE KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AND BURNED UP. ALL I WANT OUR THE NEW CRUISE CONTROL WIRE AND SWITCH AND HAVE IT INSTALLED AT THE DEALER FOR FREE.
