I received a letter from ford in august of this year (2007) concerning a possible fire risk with the cruise control on my 2000 ford ranger. However, after many trips to the dealer over the past four months the recall "fix" has not yet been implemented because the dealer contends that ford is not supplying the required part(s). As of the 11th of december the dealers response was that they thought there might be parts available sometime after the first of the year. How can ford issue a safety recall and not have parts available for four or more months?
Cruise 'control devices on numerous ford vehicles have been recalled. Ford is disengaging the devices and does not have adequate parts to repair them, consumers are not advised of this until the device has been disengaged. At which point - in my case with a 2000 ford ranger I was advised the parts would not be available till december - I have now been advised that the parts will now "possibly" be available mid-march. Ford is obviously ill prepared to deal with this recall and as word gets out that your cruise control will be disabled - many consumers will choose not to have the recall work done until parts are available. This is not only a dangerous situation it is abusive to the consumer.
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.
The speed control recall can not be completed properly because they did not manufacture enough parts. The letter did not state they would merely disable the control.

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.
2000 ranger had throttle problems. *ts the dealership replaced various parts on the vehicle such as the mass air flow sensor, idle air control. The problem continued.
I experienced sudden, uncontrollable acceleration while driving at approximately 15 MPH on a suburban street. The accelerator pedal went to the floor and was seemingly disconnected from its linkage. I was able to stop the vehicle by turning off the ignition, thankfully before encountering another vehicle, pedestrian or obstacle. My vehicle is a very well maintained 2000 ford ranger xlt with about 68,000 miles. The vehicle was towed to a local garage who repaired it promptly. I reported the incident to my local ford dealer who basically shrugged his shoulders, seemingly uncaring that there may be a potentially serious safety issue. He gave me a toll-free phone number to call ford motor company, but after several attempts to reach that line, and being put on hold through an automated system for up to 40 minutes at a time, I have become frustrated enough to report this to the federal safety agency.
2000 ford ranger accelerator pedal sticks at high speeds almost causing an accident. *kb
While driving there was unwanted acceleration. The consumer states it becomes very violent upon coming to a stop. *ak when the consumer stopped using the auto speed control the surging did not occur until early 2005. There was a banging noise coming from the rear when braking due to the rear speed sensor and the brake pump, it made the vehicle feel as if it were being hit in the back. *sc
2000 ford ranger cruise control module broke off the steering wheel. *mr the steering wheel was attached by the wires only. The breakage occurred while attempting to turn on the cruise control. *sc the cruise control switch was replaced.
Speedometer is irratic,odometer also not working correctly,rear anti lock brakes are releasing on dry roads(very dangerous).
When shifting gears vehicle's accelerated without warning. *ak consumer could be sitting still or moving slowly but when he releases the clutch, he feels he's traveling 90 MPH. He will not let his wife or anyone else drive the vehicle because of this defect. Took vehicle to ford dealer and they worked on it. He test drove the vehicle and nothing happened. He stated this has happened at least six times. He could drive it for hundreds of miles and nothing happens. All of a sudden, the motor is going 90 MPH. He would play with the clutch and hold the brake for a mile or two and then it's o.k. There has not been any accidents or injuries.
Engine over revs at various times. When slowing the rpms exceed 2000 rpms and you have too brake with transmission engaged to reduce speed as well as keep from running over something or someone. This type of malfunction occurs at no specific time or speed! If other 2000 rangers with v/6 engines experience this something drastic may happen!
The vehicles engine raced and the vehicle accelerated without the accelerator being pressed.
The accelerator pedal became stuck.
Consumer states that vehicle has a cable from accelerator pedal. Consumer states the bracket the cable is attached to broke and now when driving vehicle's acceleration is retarded. Nlm consumer also states that the two bolts that holds the bracket in place faded, causing bad throttle response.ph 09-dec-2002
While in motion and slowly decelerating to come to a complete stop, the vehicle will surge like the accelerator has been pushed in and the truck immediately lurches forward. This acceleration is so strong that applying pressure to the brake does not hold and consumer has to ram the shift lever into park to stop the vehicle.
While driving transmission would rev, then vehicle would lurch forward. Dealer replaced transmission. 6 weeks later , same thing happened. Transmission was replaced again, transmission lasted less than one hour. Currently, transmission is being replaced for the third time.
