And in my experience, Toyota does a terrible job of stepping up to the plate....

BTW - I know someone who had a "cruise control fire". At least that's what the fire department claimed.

Until, that is, it was pointed out to them that they identified the source of the fire as near the firewall on the passenger side, which is NOT where the master cylinder is located. Still, it got reported to NHTSA as a suspected fire as the fault of the cruise control switch.

But, you know, jumping on the bandwagon can be fun!

btw - that fire ended up being the result of some gadget they'd jammed in the glove box, which overheated and lit paper in the box on fire.

Not at all related to anything Ford did...

Ahem.

Guess what DFD reported as the source of ignition?
