Broken speed control cable. Broken in the same place as pictured in many online photos as being recalled yet the Ford dealer says this car is not covered. Same thing happened with a 1997 Ford Explorer with broken sway bar link. Does anyone research the recalls, they are not complete. The NHTSA is no better than the BBB. Just a complaint blog.
