| VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL - CRUISE CONTROL | |||
| 01/22/2007 | 92109 | 2 | 10/02/2002 |
| I was driving on the freeway with the cruise control at aprox 70 mph then i deactivated it by stepping on the brake pedal, a few minutes later the cruise control activated by its self. this happened three times in a period of three weeks. the first two times the cruise deactivated after stepping on the bake pedal. but the third time was the scary one. after leaving the freeway and entering the city, the cruise control accelerated the kia sedona to aprox 72 mph in the city. the bake pedal did not deactivate the cruise control and the engine started to over power the brakes. a few seconds later i realized there was a main on off switch on the dash of the vehicle, so i turned it off, witch turned the cruise control. i was very lucky to have stopped the van, as i was very close to a heavy intersection. after that kia sedona every know and then i could not get the shift lever out of park, i had to stick a pencil in to the shift release hole to drive the van. i discovered that the brake pedal switch was faulty, not covered under warranty. the cruise is also not covered. so i no longer use the cruise and i warn everybody using the van of its ability to take off after use of the cruise control. *jb | |||
