Consumer Description

THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THE CONSUMER HAD TO TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL LEVER TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED TWO DAYS AFTER THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RECALL 04V106000 REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN SINCE RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE. *AK THIS CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO BECOME VERY CLOSE TO SLOWER MOVING TRAFFIC BEFORE THE CONSUMER REALIZED WHAT OCCURRED. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS ORIGINALLY DONE CARELESSLY. *SC *JB
