1993 Ford Ranger VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

THE GOVERNOR FOR THE 90 MPH GOVERNOR WAS RECALLED BY THE CONSUMER AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLS. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT IT WAS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I CALLED UPON FORD SEVERAL TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, AS WELL AS WENT BY THE FORD SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT PERTAINING TO MY 1993 FORD RANGER. NOT UNTIL AFTER THE TRUCK BROKE AND WOULD NOT SHIFT DID FORD PRETEND TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS A RECALL, BUT, ALSO CHARGED 1000 DOLLARS. THE TRUCK DID NOT FILL LIKE IT WAS FIXED PROPERLY I APPROACHED THE LANDERS FORD COLLIERVILLE OF COLLIERVILLE TENNESSEE AND HE STATED IT WAS FIXED. THEY THEN TRIED TO SELL ME ANOTHER TRUCK. ANY WAY THE TRUCK DID NOT GO ANOTHER 500 MILES BEFORE BREAKING AND GETTING REAR ACCIDENT BY A HIT AND RUN DRIVER. FORD TOOK MY 1000 DOLLARS AND DID NOT FIX MY TRUCK AND ARE STILL IGNORANT TO THE DAY ABOUT MY TRUCK AND RECALL.
