HAD WRECK. DID HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT THE TIME. CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN THROUGH INTERSECTION. PROCEEDING TO HIT NEW HONDA WHICH HAD ONLY BEEN PURCHASED 2 WEEKS. THE HONDA HAD 7,000.00 DOLLARS IN DAMAGE .LUCKILY I HAD INSURANCE TO COVER IT. MY FORD EXPLORER WAS TOTALED!!!! ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL,STATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE EXPLORER HAD A 1000.00 DEDUCTIBLE. AND SAFEWAY INSURANCE CAME AND GOT THE SUV. OH I DID INCLUDED THE RECALL LETTER IN TRUCK! AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS A COPY ALSO. PLUS I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD! SINCE I AM ON DISABILITY AND EVERYTHING IT IS HARD TO MAKE PAYMENTS. I WAS LETTING EVERYONE KNOW THEY REALLY NEED TO GET THE SPEED CONTROL FIXED ASAP! I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE OF THE ACCIDENT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE FIRST PART OF JULY. *JB
