This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The vehicle was parked overnight and the consumer was unable to start the ignition. The consumer opened the hood, and saw wires melted. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cruise control switch caused the melting of the wiring harness and the brake fluid reservoir. All of the brake fluid leaked onto the engine. The wiring harness was burned completely from the engine to the steering column. The consumer was aware that later model Ford 150's were experiencing the same problem. There was no horn or cruise control and the air bag light flashed.
No deployment of driver's air bag during head-on collision, resulting in injury. Also vehicle sustained extensive damage. Dup 0F 822622; posted on 09-07-1999.
