MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 F-150 AND THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONED. I TOOK IT IN TO BE REPAIRED AND LEARNED THAT THE DEACTIVATION SWITCH LEAKED BREAK FLUID INTO THE SERVO CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT. I ALSO LEARNED THAT FORD HAS ADMITTED THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN VEHICLES FROM 1997 TO 2003, BUT HAVE ONLY RECALLED 2000 AND 2001 YEAR MODELS. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $380 AND I THINK FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS COST
