| When driving down the interstate with the cruise control activated, a slight turn to pass another vehicle shut the cruise control off (no dashboard light indicator, as if you shut it off). turning the steering wheel back reactivate the cruise control (dash light back on), though not engaged, as if you hit the brakes. the problem got progressively worse over time; the 'dead' spot in the cruise control eventually disabled the control from coming on at all. the dealership repaired this 2 year, 11 month old car for $377.00. the defective part is a 'cable reel assembly' that shorted out, according to the dealership. i considered it a safety hazard; they did not. | |||
