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

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
