MY 2000 FORD VAN E150 IS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (RECALL 05S28). I FOLLOWED THE STEPS CONTAINED IN THE RECALL LETTER, AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY FORD DEALER (WORLD FORD IN PEMBROKE PINES, FL) TO HAVE THE REPAIR ACCOMPLISHED. ON THE DATE OF THE APPOINTMENT, I ARRIVED TO BE TOLD, RATHER RUDELY AT THAT, THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO ACCOMPLISH THE REPAIR, AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD RECEIVE ANY. NO EFFORT WAS MADE TO DISENGAGE THE DEFECTIVE PART TO PROTECT AGAINST FIRE, AND NO PROMISE OF ANY FUTURE WORK ON A DATE SPECIFIC WAS MADE. APPARENTLY, FORD IS NOT TAKING THIS RECALL AS SERIOUSLY AS IT SHOULD. YOUR ASSISTANCE IN NEEDED IN MAKING CERTAIN THAT FORD FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THIS RECALL. *TR
