Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
1999 dodge dakota wiring problem. My 1999 dodge dakota has a wiring problem that causes the cruise control to be stuck in the on position and causes the turn signal to freeze while at a long light. The cruise control is a dangerous situation since it can not be disengaged with the brake, you must manually turn the system off. Superior dodge in nicholasville, ky has already charged me for 2 hours labor to try and find the problem but have had no luck finding the shorted out wire yet.
Upper ball joints failed at 28,000,front bearings and hub assembly failed 47,000.now surging in cruise control.
While traveling on highway ABS braking light came on dashboard. Also, cruise control and airbags are not operable. Dealership is aware of problem.
Had been running on cruise control for about 3 miles when vehicle rapidly accelerated to about 70 MPH. I depresseded the "coast" button, reducing the speed to 60. I had no further cruise control incidents/failures.
