(recall 05S28: Speed control) called dealer after notification (August 2007) was told their was no parts. Wait until December 2007. Called dealer12/13/07 no parts available.I was referred to Ford 800 392 Ford was told to wait until March 2008. This is crazy why are we left behind. I was told their was not one to be had. Please do not disregard this message if this is not the correct place to report please send link or address. I think Ford needs to keep its promises as stated in there notice although I original thought the " parts will become available in the 4th quarter of 2007" was outrageous as stated in the notice.
