| Description of the problem | When using the cruise control the vehicle died: all gauge lights came on (battery, engine, etc.) engine died, no power steering, etc. Had to roll to the side of the road, put vehicle in park or neutral and restart. This problem repeats itself ever time i use the cruise control. And, i see there are other owners of this model that have posted the same complaint. Problem first occurred in january of 2008 however continues today. Fortunately when the engine has died every time i have used the speed control it has not caused an accident.... Yet! |
