Own 2000 f150 4x4, cruise control switch was replaced on recall a few years ago. Last year had to replace the cruise control switch again at my cost because it had already been replaced on recall. How cruise control is bad again and well have to replace again at my cost again. Fords fix isn't a good fix. *tr
