I have a recall on a Ford Ranger 1999 pickup for the speed control. The recall notice was sent to me in August. The part is still unavailable at my local dealer - bitterroot motors and when I call the Ford hotline, they also say the part will be unavailable until may or later. I think if this is a safety issue, they should be required to deal with the recall a little sooner than 10 months after they issue the recall. Now it is my responsibility to keep calling the Ford dealer to find out when I can schedule a repair. They don't keep a list to contact me when they get the part in.

The idle speed on the vehicle stays at a high (RPM) level when you take it out of gear(manual trans.). the idle speed does come back down when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The dealership said that this has been found out to be a common problem with '98 manual four cylinder Ranger. What can be done this" what if the problem isn't solved by the time my warranty is up? what action can I take? am I to be stuck with this problem"
