Consumer parked truck Wednesday night, when he got back into truck the next morning it would start once but not move out of gear. It would not come out of park. The engine was barely running and missing. There was a smell of smoke. Turned engine off due to the odd smell. Inspected under hood. There had been a fire that evidently burned out itself. Cruise control quit earlier. The truck could not be driven due to this problem. Afraid to move or attempt to repair anything for fear it may catch on fire again. Consumer called Ford, no recall on that particular model, but they were having a problem with those vehicles, but will not do anything until there was a recall. The most fire damage was seen on the master cylinder, suspected that the brake fluid may have had a hand in the fire along with the sensor. Was missing brake fluid upon inspection.

While braking the pedal went to the floor on more than one occasion. The problem repeated itself on its own. Driver lifted up the hood, and noticed that fluid was leaking from ABS braking modular. This caused sparks from the master cylinder. Driver will contact a mechanic for an appointment. On second call. The original problem was intermittent cruise control operation about 1 year prior to this complaint. About 3 or 4 months ago the fuse on the circuit containing the scds blew. Replaced fuses about 2 times. The first time the fuse lasted several weeks. The second one did not last long. Then left fuse out. Next time was under hood and replaced fuse saw spark at scds and fuse blew again. Along with this problem the ABS warning light was coming on on the dash and staying on. After disconnecting the scds the ABS warning light went out. The crusie control still worked for a short period of time after disconnecting the scds electrical connector.
