| I have a 2004 saturn l300.1 sedan with cruise control. a couple of times over the past years when using the cruise control and pressing the cruise control accelerate button, the button stuck in the accelerate position causing the car to accelerate until the cruise control was turned off by brake or switch. knowing this can happen, i am careful using cruise control and have not reported it. with the current publicity about acceleration problems, i thought it should be reported. better late than never. thank you. *tr | |||
