| Cruise control stuck; does not release with pressure on brake pedal. the cruise will only release with the cruise 'off' button on the steering wheel or if brake pedal is pushed to the floor. this is dangerous and has the potential to cause a rear-end collision. plan to take it to dealer next week; hopefully this will be covered even though vehicle warranty has expired. i won't use cruise until then. *tr | |||
