I have a 2000 Ranger XLT, with a recall for the cruise control. I have been waiting since August 2007 for this to be repaired. I was told that now I can't get it repaired until the middle of Jan. 2008. I would like to know why, if this is an official recall, that this has to wait this long and I have to drive with no cruise control. This does not make me anxious to purchase another Ford product.

Ranger 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 131,000 miles
Engine fire in 2000 Ford Ranger 4X4 parked in my driveway with the engine turned off occoured Dec 31st 2006 approx. 4:00 pm. I have reported this incident to Ford customer service and they said they would get me a response letter in 7-10 days. I did not have full coverage as the vehicle was paid for w/ 131K miles but planned on driving the truck 100K more. I believe that this was caused due to the cruise control switch I have found out about on the web but due to not having full coverage would have to pay for an investigation myself that I can not afford.
