Have you been in a cave and haven't heard about the safety recall for that issue????

You've got an '01, it should have been in the first or second round of recalls from a year or two ago.

SEARCH keywords "cruise recall" for many threads.

Ford isn't going to do squat. Its a matter for YOUR insurance company.

Good luck, you're going to need it (and I don't mean just with Ford).
