Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND OPENED THE THROTTLE WIDE OPEN. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND EVENTUALLY FADED AND FAILED. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BY PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL (ENGINE RACED) AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. HUSBAND RESTARTED ENGINE ABOUT 1/2 HOUR LATER, THE ENGINE DID NOT RACE. HUSBAND LIMPED THE TRUCK HOME AND ON THE WAY WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION ONLY ONCE. CONFIRMED IT WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL,SINCE THE PEDAL PULLED AWAY FROM HUSBAND'S FOOT. NOTE: THE BRAKES DID NOT SHUT DOWN THE CRUISE CIRCUT EITHER BY THE PRIMARY SHUT OFF (BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH) OR THE SECONDARY BACKUP SHUT OFF (BRAKE LINE PRESSURE SWITCH). HIGHWAY PATROL STOPPED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE WHICH WAS DECLINED AFTER HUSBAND ARRIVED. NOTE FOR OFFICE PERSONNEL: MY WIFE SUBMITTED THIS OVER THE PHONE ON 07JAN199, BUT THERE WERE SO MANY ERRORS THAT I AM RESUBMITTING THIS. REF NUMBER ON MAILED FORM: 833146. *AK
