Consumer Description

CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, AND NOTICED INTERMITTENT ABS/BRAKE LIGHT. AFTER RESEARCHING, FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID THROUGH THE CONNECTOR. FLUID HAD WICKED INTO THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE AS WELL. EVEN THOUGH THIS SWITCH IS THE SUBJECT OF FAILURES AND RECALLS ON NUMEROUS MODELS, THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE OR APPLY THE COMPANY DESIGNED FIX TO THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS LED TO NUMEROUS VEHICLE FIRES, AND THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONDING TO THIS ISSUE BY REPLACING THE SWITCH, BUT ONLY INSTALLING A FUSE. REPAIR CHARGES WERE $210.00. *TR
