2002 FORD RANGER Complaints

RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE MAY 07 AS OF TODAY I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT IT WILL NOT BE FIXED TILL LATE JUNE 2008 OR LATER. SO I AM DRIVING A TRUCK THAT I AM PAYING FOR THAT HAS NO CRUISE CONTROL AND WHEN THIS DISCONNECTED MY CRUISE CONTROL WITHOUT TELLING ME TILL AFTER THE FACT, IT ALSO DISCONNECTED MY ABS SYSTEM. SO NOW I HAVE NO ANTI LOCK BRAKES -HARDLY ANY BRAKES AND NO CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. WHY DID THEY DISCONNECT THE SYSTEM, KNOWINGLY WITHOUT TELLING THE CONSUMER THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK. SO I AM DRIVING A UNSAFE VEHICLE IN MY OPTION. *TR

RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY SPEED CONTROL. MADE A APPOINTMENT AT DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE PART AND THEY DISCONNECTED MY SPEED CONTROL, BUT RAN OUT OF PARTS. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAVE BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS PART[SCDS] AND THEY TELL ME JANUARY OR FEBRUARY 2008. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT SPEED CONTROL FOR OVER 4 MONTHS.

I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD AFFECT MY ABILITY TO STOP OR AVOID A COLLISION. *TR

FORD MOTOR CO. ISSUED RECALL 05S28 IN AUGUST 2007. I TOOK MY 2002 RANGER IN ON 01 SEPT AND WAS TOLD PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. CHECK BACK IN LATE NOV. THIS IS A RECALL PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND THE DEALER DISCONNECTED IT, STATING THAT IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD. I TOOK THE RANGER IN ON 08 DEC AND AGAIN WAS TOLD PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THE DEALER HAD NO INFORMATION AS TO WHEN FORD WOULD SEND THE PARTS OUT, EXCEPT THAT IT WOULD BE SOME TIME AFTER THE NEW YEAR. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM WITHOUT USE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHICH IS OF GREAT BENEFIT TO ME WHEN TRAVELING. IN MY OPINION, 4+ MONTHS IS FAR TOO LONG TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR FORD TO CORRECT A PROBLEM OF THIS SORT, ESPECIALLY SINCE EVEN THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM FORD. THIS RECALL INACTION HAS ALL THE APPEARANCES OF DELIBERATE NEGLECT. *TR
