Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND THE SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN/TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I WAS STOMPING ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET AND THE CAR WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN. AFTER RIDING THE BRAKES THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE SCALES ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. FORD REPLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE FOR $235 AND SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE FREE TO FIX. *TR
