Ford sent me letter last fall stating my Ford Ranger was subject to a safety recall. I stopped by my dealer every couple of weeks for months and they said nobody has parts, because the supplier won't make these parts 'til everything is ready. I'm tired of waiting... I want the gov't to pressure Ford to act. The recall I learned is for the cruise control wiring that causes fires... even when not using cruise control.
I have a standard 1998 Ford Ranger XLT and am wondering if the recall for the speed control cable pertains to it? the throttle revs up to about 2200 RPM when I am coming to a stop.
Consumer stated that while driving down the highway and attempting to make a stop vehicle failed to stop. Consumer put vehicle in neutral, turned it around, and went back home. At home consumer raised the hood and discovered that the throttle cable separated. Consumer was scared because he was traveling about 45-50 mph.
