Four problems related to cruise control have been reported for the 2001 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When the cruise control is being used,my 2001 Dakota qc will surge. The tachometer will jump a little and the vehicle will jerk slightly. The pickup has been in the shop for 6 weeks with no answers!.
When cruise control in activated vehicle will continue to accelerate.
Cruise control failed to DE-activate when brake was applied. Brake was stepped and released 3 times, cruise control still failed to DE-activate. Was able to finally get cruise control to deactivate after pushing in both clutch and brake at same time. Cruise takes 3-5 seconds to deactivate when just clutch is pushed in. Truck was taken to dealer twice for this problem, they couldn't find anything wrong. Onboard computer not showing any problems. I have had cruise control in other cars, this is not the way it it supposed to work.
Although the cruise control was set the vehicle would speed up to another speed.
