Speed Control Linkage problems of the 1999 Ford Explorer Sport

On 08/11/05,I had a gentleman interested in purchasing my 1999 Ford Explorer Sport. He came to look at it, he looked under the hood & mentioned that Ford was having problems with connectors in front of the brake fluid reservoir & that some vehicles had even caught on fire! he said it looked as though it had already melted. Very concerned, I made an appt for the next day. I took the vehicle to moore motor sales in caro, & had the recall done. On my way home, I tried out the cruise control - to my surprise, it did not work! when I returned home, I looked under the hood to find the part that I thought was to be replaced was still there! so, I called moore motor sales and spoke to heath peters. I questioned him why this melted part was not replaced and he said that the only thing on the recall for my vehicle was the cable, not the switch. I explained to him that I was concerned for the safety of my 2 year old daughter and myself at 8 months pregnant as passengers. He immediately scheduled me for another appt on 08/15/05(Monday). Over the weekend I took the time to research this issue further. I discovered this "speed control deactivation switch, " had been recalled in some Ford vehicles, under investigation for others & my vehicle has the same switch as those under the recall. On Monday, I went to my appt as scheduled. I informed heath that I wanted to be there when they looked at my SUV. I showed him & the service tech the charred switch. They both agreed that this part had melted. I was informed however that since my vehicle was not on the recall as of yet, I would have to pay the costs to fix it up front, with hopes of eventually being reimbursed. I would like you to investigate this matter further, due to the fact that this is the same part just in a different vehicle. And I have proof that this is definitely a defective part no matter what vehicle they decide to put it in. I thank god that nothing more happen in my case. I'm sure others won't be so lucky.
