Description of the problem | The issues have been with the truck's cruise control. Initially it would shut off when the '+' button was pressed 2x rapidly or would not operate at all. It would resume functioning when i would pull over and restart the truck. The issues however has escalated to a serious safety issues. On the morning of 7/28/2014, the cruise control would not shut off or disarm. I could cancel and/or press the brake pedal to slow down, but the system would not disarm or turn off. A visit to the dealer verified the issue and a 2014 model was taken for a test drive and it did not replicate same issue. Having the cruise control unexpectedly disengage or have it not disarm is a serious traffic and safety hazard. The exact same behavior is documented in this youtube video and is not an unknown occurrence to the manufacturer. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=afc4y2grqzo. |
