| Description of the problem | A friend and me were on a trip to marksville, la, and i put my cruise control on, going about 70 miles per hour down the interstate 20, and all of a sudden it just took off. It scared us so bad i didn't use it anymore during the trip. Will, this month my husband and me were going to sheveport, la and i had the cruise control on again and all of a sudden it just took off like a jet. I pressed on the brake and it quit. My husband asked me what i was doing putting on the gas like that. I told him i didn't do it and told him about the time before. So we didn't use this cruise control anymore during this trip. I'm writing to you about this problem in case something could happen that might cause death, just in case if i hit the brake and it doesn't work i'll have this in writing.. For you and my family. You never know. Have you had any more complaints about the cruise control? |
