The contact owns a 2000 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the cruise control failed to operate without warning. In addition, the contact stated that the brake lights and the turn signals failed to illuminate when engaged as the brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.
My 2000 Ford Ranger was recalled due to a defect in the cruise control. My dealership disconnected the cruise control in November, 2007 and as of today, still has no idea as to when a replacement part will be available.
Ford recalled my Ford Ranger for a repair in August to replace the scds speed control switch, I have contacted local dealer, where I bought vehicle, each month and have been told no parts, not sure when. Since then the cruise control has quit and am concerned about a failure, which is reported to be fire.
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.
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.
