VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FORD RECALL #05S28 ON OUR 1997 LINCOLN TOWN CAR EXECUTIVE WAS ISSUED OVER 5 MONTHS AGO. WE COMPLIED WITH THE REQUEST TO HAVE THE SPEED CONTROL MODIFIED, AND WAS TOLD WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. WE HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL THEY ARE NOT IN STOCK. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AS A RESPONSE FROM A REPUTABLE US MANUFACTURER. FORD SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE [IS THIS A REASON BUYERS ARE RELUCTANT TO BUY AND OWN US MADE PRODUCTS] ???. WE ARE FAST LOSING FAITH IN THE QUALITY AND CONCERN DISPLAYED BY FORD. *TR
