Cruise control malfunctions with multiple issues. When vehicle is in motion on both highways or on city's streets, the cruise control will not engage most of the time. When it does engage, it will randomly turn off, turn itself on, decelerate, accelerate on it's own. In may of 2017 this same issue was address by the dealer under the warranty and I was assured it was fixed. Today, January 2019. I am starting to have a repeat of the same issues with the cruise control malfunctions of random deceleration, random accelerations or randomly turning off or on whail in motion. This is a daily reaccuance starting again on 1/3/2019. Now that the warranty is expired, the dealership larry miller of boise will require payment for diagnosis or repair of an obvious vehical safety issue that was addressed by them prior under warranty.

Cruise control suddenly does not kick off using controls unless brakes are applied, nor does it engage all of the time. There is no difference in when vehicle is moving or stationary but will sometimes occur after blinker is used. No blind spot detection alert or message at all.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 70 mph, the contact activated the cruise control. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop and the cruise control would not deactivate. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called brian bemis Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (1825 dekalb Ave, sycamore, IL 60178, (815) 895-8105), but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.

While driving on the highway using the cruise control, the car suddenly accelerated. The gas pedal was pinned to the floorboard. I attempted to disengage the cruise control by pressing down on the brake pedal. It did not disengage the cruise control leaving the car still accelerating in traffic up to and beyond 90 mph. I attempted to turn off the cruise control with the switch on the steering wheel but it did not disengage the cruise control. I did see a warning light appear on the dashboard but was unfamiliar with it. I later looked it up in my owners manual and it was the "electronic throttle control" etc) light. Realizing there was no way to disengage the cruise control, my only option was to try to slow the car down by pressing as hard as possible on the brake pedal while the engine was attempting to continue to accelerate. This was moderately successful and allowed me to reduce the speed to a manageable speed to lane change to the emergency lane. Once there I used both feet on the brake pedal where I was able to almost stop the car while the engine raced. I twas not able to turn the car off because it was still in gear so I threw the car into park and pushed the off button. The car shut off and I was safely stopped alongside the highway. I have since been able to drive the car but have not attempted to use the cruise control. I have scheduled it to be serviced and will hopefully get some sort of data from the car as to the malfunction. ## VIN passed ## Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013 ##.
