I have been having trouble with my cruise control lately. If I start my car remotely and then drive my cruise control won't turn on unless I hold down all 4 buttons on my steering wheel. When this happens I also end up having difficulties disengaging it and there will be a 1-2 mph difference from what the cruise speed is set as to what speed the vehicle is actually traveling. I noticed there was a safety recall in regards to this issue that was issued on 05/17/2018 but my Vin didn't register for that recall so I'm wondering if my car was missed or if there are more vehicles like mine having this same issue that wasn't taken care of in the last recall issued.

There is a recall on this car but chrysler will not cover repairs be cause it was in an accident car is in very good condition. It is a rebuilt salvage and the registration is in ct. I think they are responsible for repairs because air bag was never deployed on pass side. Far right front and undercarriage on lncident report only. Also control modules for cruise control will not allow you to turn it off short circuit in vehicle wiring . If a rebuilt salvage can be sold to me by a dealer that is unsafe why can't chrysler stand behind there recalls. Oh the car is in very good condition an I love it. Can you help me please.

Vehicle was in cruise control mode set at 70mph. Vehicle in front of mine was going slower my vehicle slowed down automatically as it is designed to do. I proceeded to left lane to pass the other vehicle (truck) as I began passing my vehicle accelerated to a speed of over 85mph without my touching either the gas pedal or the res button of the cruise feature. I then had to cancel the cruise control feature and brake the car to slow down. It was terrifying. This happened more then once during my trip. I had the vehicle into chrysler before because the computer turned the heated seat feature and heated steering wheel feature on without my touching the buttons. The car was reprogrammed to correct this problem and I am wondering if the reprogramming affected the cruise control feature.
