My rear brake system keeps coming apart. This first happened while driving at 55 m.p.h. And I had to brake suddenly. I had to drive around vehicle in front of me to avoud a crash, I had a mechanic put them back together but the problem keeps persisting even though I have had the brake system completely redone. The problem with my cruise control is that when I use it and set it the car will go that speed and after a while will increase the speed on it's own.I have almost gotten a ticket because of this and since everytime I use it this happens I have stopped using the cruise control.
