What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 1999 ford ranger. While driving 30 MPH the vehicle caught fire under the hood. She received a recall notice for the vehicle speed control (NHTSA campaign id #07v336000) on august 17, 2007. The current and failure mileage was unknown.
On 20 january 2015, approx 11:30pm while the vehicle was parked in the garage since the previous evening, the vehicle alarm went on it's own. I went and turned it of f and while trying to figure out why, I smelled something burning immediately there was smoke coming from under the hood. I went into action and got the hood open, I saw flames coming from the switch at the end of the master cylinder. I've noticed the switch before, I did not know what it did, I just thought it was part of the braking system.
