Ford's largest Recall Ever
For the past ten years, Ford has been dealing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and consumers over the issue of leaking cruise control switches in certain company vehicles. Since 2008, it had recalled more than 9.6 million vehicles to repair a faulty Texas Instruments cruise-control deactivation switch, now after a NHTSA investigation, the Ford has added 4.5 million more Ford and Mercury vehicles to the recall.
The latest recall action covers these vehicles:
1992-2003 Ford Econoline
2000-2003 Ford Excursion
1995-2002 Ford Explorer
1993-1997, 1999-2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty
1994 Ford F-53 chassis
1995-1997, 2001-2003 Ford Ranger
1995-2003 Ford Windstar
1995-2002 Mercury Mountaineer
According to NHTSA, the switch can leak and overheat, which can lead to smoking and, in some cases, fire. The Detroit News has noted that the switches have been faulted in more than 550 fires – some of which led to fatalities – many of which have led to lawsuits.
Have you ever noticed how many people out there are not paying attention when they drive? It is amazing there are not even more accidents. Imagine how many people are out there driving on cruise control and texting!! What would happen when they snap back to reality hit the brakes and the cruise control does not shut off!!
A Ford statement declared, "Aside from the Windstar, the additional vehicles addressed in this action have different system parameters and do not pose an unreasonable risk to safety. However, Ford is taking this action on all of these vehicles to address possible ongoing customer lack of confidence in vehicles with the affected switch."
The recall begins on October 26. Anyone with an affected vehicle can take it to a Ford dealer and have the switch repaired with a fused harness. Owners can get more information directly from NHTSA by calling the government agency's hotline at 1-888-327-4236.

Armstrong Team Investigated Over Syringes - Rush Limbaugh & Sharpton What a Combination!
Rush Limbaugh and Al Sharpton have an NFL size fight on going on over the St. Louis Rams, charges of racism and now Jesse Jackson believes sports fans care what he thinks. Jesse Jackson has chimed in as well as Al Sharpton and it seems they don't believe Rush Limbaugh should have the right to buy a National Football League team. All three of these guys make money on controversy, the more uspset the more dollars!
Lance Armstrong is the focus of yet another probe. This guy has to be one of the most "tested" athletes in the world. When will they accept the fact he is just an amazing athlete? According to an item from Jim Roberts, syringes were found in "medical waste containers during the Tour de France."
