Consumer Description

THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS, WHEN YOU PRESS THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS IT MAY STAY ON EVEN THOUGH YOU HIT CANCEL. IF YOU HIT THE REDUCE SPEED BUTTON, IT MAY CANCEL CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED IT UP, OR REDUCE SPEED. ALSO, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED NOTIFICATION RANDOMLY TURNS ON. IT APPEARS THAT SOME WIRING RUNNING ON THE TOP MIDDLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL, DIRECTLY UNDER THE AIRBAG, IS CROWDED OR JUST MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SET OR ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL.
