“Cruising down two-lane highway at 65 MPH with cruise control set. Hit brake for upcoming stop sign. When brake released, cruise control tried to take me back to 65 MPH. The only way to release cruise control was to hit off button. Need info on how to fix this problem because I am afraid to use the cruise control at this time. Thankyou for your help in this matter.”
