Cruise Control Problems of Mazda B3000

I had a recall notice from the dealer the cruise control deactivation switch on my truck. I took it to a dealership in tuscaloosa alabama, where they replaced it, but let the wires just hanging loose in the engine, very sloppy work, also prior the recall the switch burnt out melting the cruise control button on the steering wheel, they said they don't cover that even though the switch they recalled caused it.

This is about an already existing recall for Mazda 1998-2002 b-series cruise control deactivation switch safety recall 4707h. I have spoken with Mazda representative several times. The problem is that they are telling me to take my truck down to the nearest dealer and they will fix the problem. That is fine except the nearest dealer to me is over 200 miles away. According the letter I got it states there is a possibility of an underhood fire. I don't feel it is safe to be driving my truck that far if it could result in a fire. I have tried repeatedly just to get the part sent to me when it becomes available and I will have it fixed locally. Mazda refuses to send the part saying that the NHTSA will only allow Mazda dealerships to install the part. If this is true there are plenty of people in my situation who just are not going to get the problem fixed and continue driving there trucks with this problem because the distance to the nearest dealer is to great and doesn't make sense when the part could be shipped directly to them and installed by a qualified ase mechanic. All I would like is to have the replacement part sent to me. After all it was the manufacturer's mistake and I am the one who is suffering from it.

Cruise control came on without turning it on and would not turn off. I pulled to the side of the road and disabled it under the hood.

While driving 65 mph with cruise control on vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own. Consumer applied brakes. However, cruise control did not disengage . Consumer then turned cruise control off to slow vehicle down. Vehicle has not been taken to dealer yet.

Was driving 60mph when cruise control came on. Cruise control could not be released after hitting brakes or accelerator pedal. Had to shift into neutral, and then shut vehicle down. Once restarted, cruise control was not activated. *akconsumer states this has happened on two occasions, the exact same thing happens at each failure.
