| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 ford f150 pickup truck. On 07/15/2010 i noticed that the cruise control dashboard indicator lamp came on several times without me engaging the control. Later i during the evening i noticed not only the cruise control dashboard indicator lamp turning on and off, but also the right side steering wheel cruise control buttons were not lighting up though the headlamps were on. I attempted to get the issued repaired at the local dealer, but closest appointment was at the end of following week. Two days later, on 07/17/2010 i was operating the truck, i experienced the cruise control engaging as i accelerated. The truck continued to accelerate even though i had not engaged the cruise control, nor was my foot on the accelerator pedal. I was able to regain control by depressing the brake pedal and putting the transmission into neutral. I brought the truck to nearest ford dealer for repair. While traveling the approximately 5 mile ride, the cruise control continue to engage on its own. The ford dealer was able to diagnose the problem, citing a defective cruise control switch. The switch was replaced and now the vehicle appears to operating properly. |
