1999 FORD RANGER Complaints

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY 1999 FORD RANGER TRUCK REPAIRED AS IT CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH. THE DEALER DISCONNECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL IN NOVEMBER 2007, AND I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPERABLE CRUISE CONTROL OPTION SINCE THEN. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AS THEY STATE FORD MOTOR CORP HAS NOT HAD THE PART AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN YESTERDAY AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL.

I HAVE A RECALL ON A FORD RANGER 1999 PICKUP FOR THE SPEED CONTROL. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO ME IN AUGUST. THE PART IS STILL UNAVAILABLE AT MY LOCAL DEALER - BITTERROOT MOTORS AND WHEN I CALL THE FORD HOTLINE, THEY ALSO SAY THE PART WILL BE UNAVAILABLE UNTIL MAY OR LATER. I THINK IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH THE RECALL A LITTLE SOONER THAN 10 MONTHS AFTER THEY ISSUE THE RECALL. NOW IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP CALLING THE FORD DEALER TO FIND OUT WHEN I CAN SCHEDULE A REPAIR. THEY DON'T KEEP A LIST TO CONTACT ME WHEN THEY GET THE PART IN. *TR

FORD HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL, BEGUN ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, BUT DOESN'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS IS EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, AT THE WORST IT IS FRAUD - DEPRIVING ME OF THE VEHICLE I ORIGINALLY PAID FOR! THIS IS THE RECALL FOR CRUISE CONTROL, A FEATURE I USE FREQUENTLY AND SPECIFICALLY BOUGHT WITH THIS MODEL. FORD KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NEED THE PARTS TO FIX IT - WHY DON'T THEY HAVE IT, OR HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPENSATING FOR FAILING TO HAVE IT? *TR
