| Cruise control has failed and needed to be repaired 3 times in the past year and a half. the dealer tells me that the switch in the steering wheel is defective, but i do not believe him. how can the same switch fail and be replaced 3 times. it is something deeper in the system, however changing the switch out alleviates the problem for a while. now that the truck is out of warranty, it will become a major headache. *cn | |||

| This vehicle was purchased brand new in october 2004. six months along the car shut down as i was driving and failed to turn over. car was towed to the dealer where originally purchased and after four days car was returned to me. had no problems for the next 6 months. in february 2006 on my way home from work one evening, the car stalled once again . same situation . i had the car towed to another ford dealer. three days later got it back, they claimed the first time the car was not fixed correctly. yesterday june 26th i was about to get on the highway with my children in the car and as i am driving on the ramp to the brooklyn queens expressway it dies once again. this is the third incident with the same problem. i feel so unsafe in this car. imagine if it had shut down on me on the highway as i was driving. i would hate to think what would've happened. the car is a 2004 ford explorer sport trac. *nm | |||
