Cruise Control problems of the 2002 Mazda Tribute

Dealer disconnected cruise control and has not notified of replacing the part and a Ford dealer I know can get the part in 1 week. Why hasn't the recall been accomplished by this philadelphia Mazda dealer.

I've noticed in the past 2-3 months that the vehicle continues to accelerate when I take my foot off the acceleration pedal. It cause me to apply extreme pressure to the brakes to slow the vehicle down. Also, the few times I have tried to use the cruise control feature on the highway it does not work. I am not able to lock it in at a given speed. . . . Say 72 mph. I have given this vehicle to my son and now I am see reports that this might cause Mazda to do a recall. I would suggest that Mazda must issue a recall on this problem as soon as possible before more people are injured or killed.

Turning the wheel, particularly, the driver's side, results in a squealing noise. The dealer said it was the left rack and pinion and that it is not a safety issue. He also stated that "it may work itself out" or you can have it repaired for $810. Several days later I receive this "special service reminder" requring my immediate attention and saying that the "following repair and/or service needs to be performed on your vehicle. " a couple of weeks prior to the incident, the dealer had performed a recall to replace the cruise cable.

Consumer had the speed control function on. While driving at 75 mph vehicle suddenly accelerated up to 90 mph. Brakes were applied to decelerate vehicle which deactivated the cruise control.

While driving 40 mph, engine check light came on, then vehicle stalled. Vehicle restarted and taken to dealer for inspection. Repairs per dealer: completed repair procedures per bulletin. The control unit already contained the latest programming. The engine idle speed was reset and the throttle sensor voltage. Relearned the idle and rechecked.
