Ford recall August 2007, faulty cruise control, 2002 Explorer Sport Trac. Vehicle taken to dealer. Parts not available. Dealer made temporary repair by disabling the cruise control. As of 2/5/2008 vehicle is still without cruise control. Dealer claims parts not provided by Ford.

I received in the mail a letter from Ford motor company to install a fused wiring harness into the speed control system of my vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). I have called my local service dealer several times, since August of 2007. The service manager has always told me that parts are not available and to call back. I have called 5 times, including today, 07 April 2008. I do have a 2002 explorer sports trax. I am having a difficult time getting my vehicle repaired in a reasonable time and without charge.

I received a recall on my Ford vehicle for the speed control. It may leak causing an underhood fire. I need to have a fused wiring harness installed into the speed control system. According to Ford dealerships the part is not available at this time. This is a safety issue with me due to the fact that I park my truck in my garage that is attached to my home. I do not want my home to burn down and do not want a fire to start under my hood while driving either. Please help it has been 6 months since I received the recall.

Recall on Ford cruise control for 2002 sport trac truck. I received a letter from Ford to have it disconnected last Aug 2007. To this date they still have not received any to the dealers to repair the problem. Looks like Ford is dragging their feet.

Ford safety recall notice received approx 6 months ago. Apparently the cruise control system likes to start fires. I continue to be told by the dealer the parts necessary to prevent the failure are 'not available'. This is incredible. How is Ford allowed to get away with thousands of vehicles on the road that can catch fire at any time? obviously, given how much time has gone by, Ford is thumbing their nose at both the consumer and the government.
