I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM FORD IN AUGUST 2007. THE RECALL NUMBER IS: 05S28. I TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT IN SEP. 07 WITH SUPERSTITION FORD IN MESA, AZ. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE BACK ORDERED AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT MY NAME ON A LIST AND CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN. I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL FROM THAT DAY IN SEP., AND THEREFORE, CALLED THEM AGAIN TODAY, JAN. 28, 08. I WAS ONCE AGAIN TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE ORDERED IN AUG. 07, BUT HAD STILL NOT ARRIVED AS THE DATE OF MY CALL. I WAS STILL ON THEIR LIST WITH MANY OTHERS TO GET THE RECALL SCHEDULED AND SATISFIED. I STRONGLY FEEL FOR THIS RECALL THAT THE TIME INTERVAL IS UNREASONABLE AND UNSAFE. *CN

RECALL #05S28 2002 FORD RANGER AUGUST 2007 LETTER ASKING ME TO CONTACT THE DEALER - SUNSET FORD. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A NEW DATE FOR THE PART TO BE IN EACH TIME I HAVE CALLED (THIS SAYS UNDERHOOD FIRE CAN BE CAUSED BY THE SPEED CONTROL). I CALLED IN AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AND TODAY JAN 9 2008. I AM NOW TOLD, CALL IN APRIL AND "SEE IF THE PART IS IN" ???????? THIS STINKS OF A BAD CAR FROM A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T CARE! I DON'T WANT A PROBLEM OR A FIRE! *TR

MY 2002 FORD RANGER WAS PART OF A RECALL PERTAINING TO THE CRUISE CONTROL STARTING FIRES. I RECEIVED MY NOTICE AND TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN EARLY OCTOBER 2007. ALL THEY DID WAS DISCONNECT IT. THEY SAID THAT I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE IN A FEW MONTHS WHEN A REPLACEMENT PART ARRIVED. AS OF JANUARY 5, 2007, THIS HAS NOT OCCURED. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY JUST GAVE ME SOME CANNED RESPONSE ABOUT A BACK ORDER AND PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL MORE MONTHS. SINCE THEY DISCONNECTED THE UNIT, MY ABS LIGHT COMES ON. THE DISCONNECTION OCCURRED FROM THE BRAKE'S MASTER CYLINDER. ALL THEY DID WAS PUT A PIECE OF ELECTRICAL TAPE OVER THE FEMALE END OF THE DISCONNECTED POINT. IT WAS COMING OFF AS THEY PUT IT ON. MY CONCERN IS THAT A MANUFACTURER CAN "RECALL" A PRODUCT ONLY TO DISCONNECT IT, AND IN DOING SO LEAVE THE CONSUMER WITHOUT A FEATURE THEY PAID FOR, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WITH A "MICKEY MOUSE" MANNER OF DOING SO THAT MAY BE CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS. I WORKED FOR A LIGHTING MANUFACTURER. WE HAVE HAD CPSC RECALLS. HOWEVER, I NEVER RECALLED OUR RECALLS JUST BEING THE UNPLUGGING OF A FIXTURE WITH AN OPEN PROMISE TO CORRECT THE CONSUMER PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. HOW DOES FORD GET AWAY WITH THIS? *CN

RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE MAY 07 AS OF TODAY I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT IT WILL NOT BE FIXED TILL LATE JUNE 2008 OR LATER. SO I AM DRIVING A TRUCK THAT I AM PAYING FOR THAT HAS NO CRUISE CONTROL AND WHEN THIS DISCONNECTED MY CRUISE CONTROL WITHOUT TELLING ME TILL AFTER THE FACT, IT ALSO DISCONNECTED MY ABS SYSTEM. SO NOW I HAVE NO ANTI LOCK BRAKES -HARDLY ANY BRAKES AND NO CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. WHY DID THEY DISCONNECT THE SYSTEM, KNOWINGLY WITHOUT TELLING THE CONSUMER THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK. SO I AM DRIVING A UNSAFE VEHICLE IN MY OPTION. *TR
