RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD ON MY CRUISE CONTROL 8 MONTHS AGO. I GOT A NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007 TELLING ME TO GET IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A REPAIR. IT IS NOW APRIL OF 2008 AND I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH BOTH THE LOCAL DEALER HALDERMAN FORD OF ALLENTOWN,PA AND THE TOLL FREE NUMBER OF FORD FOR RECALLS. BOTH LOCATIONS TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF THE AVAILABILITY OF REPAIR PARTS. ALMOST 8 MONTHS LATER???? AND STILL NO PARTS TO REPAIR THIS.
