Consumer Description

THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN SO I TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL LEVER. MY GOAL WAS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN HOWEVER IT WAS NOT WORKING FAST ENOUGH SO I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES. I WAS UNABLE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE A CEMENT BLOCK. MY CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE FORCING ME TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER WHERE I WAS STILL UNABLE TO COME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP. FINALLY I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH WHICH HELPED TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN BUT THE BRAKES STILL FELT VERY STIFF. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT WAS CREATED DUE TO MY USING THE CRUISE CONROL. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO OUR MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I BELIEVE, HOWEVER, THAT A TEMPORARY MALFUNCTION OCCURED THAT CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO FAIL TO DISENGAGE.*AK
