Cruise Control problems of the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500

While driving vehicle stalled. Vehicle caught on fire. The fire department was called to extinguish the fire. Vehicle was towed and totaled by the insurance company. . . . Consumer was concerned that there might be a problem that was nit peculiar to this vehicle but that could be repeated in other daimler Chrysler vehicles. If there had been a child or an elderly person as a passenger in the vehicle consumer would not be able to get them out before the flames engulfed the vehicle.

While driving 65 mph cruise control stayed engaged when the brakes were depressed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. . . . . . Cruise control would not disengage. Pulles off the road, put into neutral and shut off engine.
