Hi all,<br />My daughter has a 2001 Dodge Stratus. The cruise control turns on by its self and the car accelerates till you hit the brake. Trying to find out if there is any un-writen recall on this. Dealer says no. I feel this is a saftey issue. Any one out there have a simular prob?

Thats scary. I would disconnect the cable to it and pull the fuse just to be safe.

Re: Cruise control ??

that sounds like a real safety issue, I would write to or call the company and I am sure they will fix it at no cost.

sounds like she has a bad speed sensor I know when one goes out on a GM and you set the cruise it will sometimes keep right on a going. you need to fix it ASAP
