| 1997 nissan sentra has had (4) four run-away cruise control incidents. cruise refuses to disengage while accelerating speed to 90-100+mph. once the governnor shut the car down, each other time the teenage driver has managed to stop the car by either, shifting into neutral, shutting the car off or using the emergency brake and regular brake at the same time. each time the incident has required a different method to stop the car. fortunately there haven't been any injuries or accidents. howver, nissan said they were unable to fix the problem yet refuse to accept any responsibility for the life threatening incidents. the head mechanic at nissan in lebanon told my 18 year old to continue driving the car and if it did it again to bring it back in !!! *ak | |||
