I HAVE AN 1993 FORD CROWN VICTORIA THAT HAS MANY RECALLS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HERITAGE FORD (209) 529-5110 TO HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL DISCONNECTED AS PER AN RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW CRUISE CONTROL WOULD BE CONNECTED IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER ON 11/13/2007 TO FIND OUT WHEN I CAN BRING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE NEW CRUISE CONTROL CONNECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WON'T BE UNTIL JANUARY OR FEBRUARY UNTIL THIS WILL HAPPEN. MY SITUATION IS THAT AS AN INDEPENDENT INSURANCE ADJUSTER. I AM ON THE ROAD COVERING A LARGE AREA AT TIMES & WITH THE PRICE OF FUEL, I WANT THE CRUISE CONTROL HOOKED UP FOR FUEL SAVINGS! THERE ARE FOUR OTHER RECALLS WITH THE VEHICLE. I WILL CONFRONT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THEM AFTER I GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. THANK YOU CLIFF MILLER *TR
