What 2001 Ford Motor Home owners say

Speed control & acceleration

I received a recall notice from Ford (recall #05s28). As instructed, on September 20, 2007, I had the cruise control disconnected at a Ford dealership and was told the part is on order. I have contacted the dealer many times and the part is apparently unavailable to resolve Ford's defective equipment. I sent an email to Ford Motor company requesting contact from them concerning this issue and have not heard from them either. Please help.
