Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Mazda B2500

Mazda recall letter said to take vehicle to closest dealer for free repair work stating dealers had parts to make my truck safe. Dropped truck off for repair on oct 9, 2008 at around 4:00pm. Was told I could pick up my truck on the 10th at around the same time. Took the next day off from work to be available when the dealer called to pick up my truck. At around 3:00pm on the 10th, I received a message to call the dealer. Since I was told to be at the dealers at 4:00pm, I wasn't near my phone when the message was received. At around 4:15pm I arrived to pick up my truck. I was told the parts were not available and could I make another appointment. I told the service rep the recall letter said the dealers had the parts to complete the job. He then said when the truck was brought into the shop, there were no parts to do the job. I said " you've had my truck for 24 hours and it's still not repaired. " I'm very unhappy with Mazda's handling of this situation and hope something can be done to correct this.
