Driving on the freeway at approximately 70 miles per hour I activated the vehicles' cruise control system. Without warning the vehicles' interior lighting came on and I subsequently noticed that the vehicle had died ( engine, was no longer running). In a panic, I attempted to turn the ignition key with negative results. I cautiously pulled to the shoulder of the freeway, placed the transmission in park and turned the ignition key to the off position. I then turned the key to the starting position and the vehicle started again. This occurred on two separate occasions. An additional issue with the vehicles air conditioning system has happened several times wherein (usually within the first couple minutes of start up) when the air conditioning is turned on, on the "auto" setting, for example at the 60 degree setting on high, the system will intermittently turn off and then turn on displaying 72 degrees, then turn off, maybe back on again etc., blowing at a much lower speed. Addressed complaints with Ford dealership, however, (as always) they were unable to duplicate problem. Inquired about any service bulletins and informed that there were none. Thank you for your time.

I was on a trip out of town and I smelt something burning. Few minutes later, I saw smoke coming out of the corner center console. I pulled over to investigate and saw a light shining through the side of my console that didn't belong there. When I turned off my headlights and the light would turn off and stop melting the plastic of the console. This could have been worse for me had it not been daylight! it turns out it was the light that connects to the gear shift to illuminate the letters (P, R, D, etc.) had not been screwed in tightly at the manufacture. Ford replaced the console, the connection bracket and the light socket as they had melted together. My husbands light in his F150 unscrewed too, but didn't cause any damage.

On December 22, 2006, the contact had used the cruise control and it smelled like something electrical was burning. He turned off the vehicle and when he returned 2 hours later the smell had dissipated. The contacted stated that on December 28, 2006 his 2005 Ford F150 crew cab caught on fire. He had been driving approximately 8 minutes. The contact was driving approximately 35-40 mph. The weather conditions were dry. The contact stated smoke started coming up out of the dash board. There were no warning signs or alarms. He pulled over to the side of the road and was only able to roll the window down a quarter of an inch. The doors on the vehicle would not open.

The police and fire department came to the scene. The contact was transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation. The vehicle became completed engulfed in flames. The contact has a police report and fired department report.
