| Last saturday 2-20-99 , the cruse control on my 93 suburban stuck at 70 mph. the brake pedal went hard. it took all my strength, both feet on the brake petal, pulling back on the steering wheel, to slow the vehical down to about 15 mph. i then put it in neutral. the rpms pegged out, but i was able to stop the car in acouple of seconds and turn off the key. if anyone else in my family would of been driving they would of crashed. please send me some information about speed controls and what i can do to eliminate this problem in the future. thank you m. bryon walston | |||
