When cruise control is on, it would automatically click on and applying the brake would not stop the cruise control speed. Very scary, happend twice and I took to dealer where they changed a "stripped nut" on brake light assembly.
While driving cruise control activates unexpectedly, and while braking the engine iraces high. The rpms are high, and the front wheels are squealing, causing extended stopping distance. Occupant needs to turn off the vehicle in order to have the rpms return to normal. Previously, had a ton of electrical problems. Dealer cannot determine the problem, but said it may be electrical. Please provide further information.
