NHTSA Complaint #10223095 — 2002 FORD E-150

THIS IS THE RECALL ON THE FORD VAN CRUISE CONTROL THAT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER I PLAN ON GOING ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND I WANT THE CRUISE CONTROL FIXED BEFORE THAT. NINE MONTHS TO WAIT FOR A PART IS CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ITS FINEST. ITS VERY STRANGE THAT I CAN GET THE PART THROUGH THE FORD DEALER WITHIN TWO WEEKS IF I ORDER IT FROM THE PARTS DEPARTMENT.

THIS WAS DONE IN OCTOBER 07. I WAS TOLD THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER. IN DECEMBER I WAS TOLD JANUARY, THEN FEBRUARY THEN MARCH. IT IS NOW APRIL AND STILL NOTHING. THE DEALER HAS BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL AND THIS PROBLEM IS COSTING ME MONEY SINCE THE VAN IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY WITH NO CRUISE CONTROL. I WOULD LIKE THIS REPAIRED ASAP. I'M SURE THE NEW VEHICLES HAVE THE CORRECT CABLE WHY CAN'T I. > OWNER: YESVEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: MILEAGE: 55000VEHICLE LOCATION: INPOSSESSIONIF CONTACTED DEALER: YES DEALER NAME: *TR
