Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL PROPERLY ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. IF YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE BUTTONS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS USED. THE VEHICLE BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND STOP WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AS THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. I HAVE STOPPED USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AS I AM AFRAID FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM AS I THOUGHT IT WAS A FORD DEFECT AND SUBSEQUENTLY USED YOUR WEBSITE TO SEARCH FOR RECALLS. NO RECALLS OR CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS ARE CURRENTLY LISTED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE SO THAT FORD MAY REPAIR IT. *TR
