I received a letter from Ford in August of this year (2007) concerning a possible fire risk with the cruise control on my 2000 Ford Ranger. However, after many trips to the dealer over the past four months the recall "fix" has not yet been implemented because the dealer contends that Ford is not supplying the required part(s). As of the 11th of December the dealers response was that they thought there might be parts available sometime after the first of the year. How can Ford issue a safety recall and not have parts available for four or more months?.

Cruise 'control devices on numerous Ford vehicles have been recalled. Ford is disengaging the devices and does not have adequate parts to repair them, consumers are not advised of this until the device has been disengaged. At which point - in my case with a 2000 Ford Ranger I was advised the parts would not be available till December - I have now been advised that the parts will now "possibly" be available mid-March. Ford is obviously ill prepared to deal with this recall and as word gets out that your cruise control will be disabled - many consumers will choose not to have the recall work done until parts are available. This is not only a dangerous situation it is abusive to the consumer.

I have a 2000 Ranger XLT, with a recall for the cruise control. I have been waiting since August 2007 for this to be repaired. I was told that now I can't get it repaired until the middle of Jan. 2008. I would like to know why, if this is an official recall, that this has to wait this long and I have to drive with no cruise control. This does not make me anxious to purchase another Ford product.

Engine fire in 2000 Ford Ranger 4x4 parked in my driveway with the engine turned off occoured Dec 31st 2006 approx. 4:00 pm. I have reported this incident to Ford customer service and they said they would get me a response letter in 7-10 days. I did not have full coverage as the vehicle was paid for w/ 131k miles but planned on driving the truck 100k more. I believe that this was caused due to the cruise control switch I have found out about on the web but due to not having full coverage would have to pay for an investigation myself that I can not afford.
