| Just wanted to let you know that cruise control mechanisms should be looked at carefully as part of the unintended acceleration issue - in 1973 we were driving a 1970 ford ltd thru' tenn. on a hot august day when the cruise control stuck in full acceleration mode. a few days later it did it again driving across illinois. in each case the car could only be stopped by stomping on the brakes hard and then turning the engine off. the dealers at the time said it wasn't possible and wouldn't even look at it. luckily there was no damage or injury, and i'm not formally filing a complaint (we never asked for any compensation or made an issue out of it at the time) - just sharing this as a bit of history to show that the problem is common to different makes and models and manufacturers. i can assure you that the problem was not caused by floormats or stuck accelerator pedals - it happened when we set the cruise on a hot day, driving on the freeway across country. *tr | |||
