“Ford recall # 05s28, speed control deactivation switch. Have a motorhome under this recall. Have been trying since september to get it fixed. Ford continues to put off availability of parts. It's is now in january. Time spent in the motorhome is nervous time, not knowing if fire will erupt at any time. What can be done? Thanks”
