NHTSA Complaint #11120070 — 2014 JEEP COMPASS

CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON GOING DOWN I-20 INTERSTATE NEAR SHREVPORT LOUISANA,,, COMING AROUND A CURVE I NOTICED ALL TRAFFIC HAD STOPPED,BOTH LANES DUE TO SOME TYPE CONSTRUCTION AND AS I TRIED TO BRAKE,,,THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WITH MY EMERGENCY BRAKING ,,,I HAD TO GO INTO THE SIDE DITCH AND FINALLY PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL TO STOP ! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN WHICH MYSELF AND WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY KILLED.! LATER,ON CHECKING THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THIS WAS A CONDITION OTHER JEEP COMPASS OWNERS HAD HAD,,,,I FOUND 'RECALLS' ON OTHER JEEP PRODUCTS ' NOTIFYING OTHER JEEP OWNERS OF JEEP CHEROKEE, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND JEEP WRANGLERS' SPECIFICALLY WITH PROBLEMS OF JEEP CRUISE CONTROLS NOT DISENGAGING' ,,,,BUT NO RECALLS ON JEEP COMPASS',,,, WHICH I HAD JUST HAD THAT SAME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAPPEN ! ( I WAS GOING HIGHWAY SPEED AT 70 MPH WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES TRYING TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND I COULD NOT OVERCOME THE STUCK CRUISE CONTROL TO STOP AND HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION LEAVING THE HIGHWAY TO THE DITCH AT 70 MPH AND STILL WOULDN'T STOP TILL I PLACED THE AUTO IN NEUTRAL AND ALLOWED ME TO STOP )
