1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2018

The seat belts will not automatically roll back into the door frame of the car after taking them off. You have to jerk the belt up and down close to twenty times to get them to retract. Also, I've noticed that the cruise control doesn't function like normal. It only works once in a while. I have to try to set my speed many times if it ever gets it to work. These issues have been going on for months now.

2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2015

After I got my car in 2015, I noticed that sometimes my cruise control would stop working and wouldn't come back on until the car was turned off and back on. The issue has consistently gotten worse and happens more often. Recently, we've had instances where the cruise control stops working and even when pushing the gas pedal, the car will not accelerate. Sometimes even when we aren't using cruise control, this also happens. It has almost caused us to be in accidents. We've almost been t-bone numerous times because we lose acceleration while crossing an intersection.

3 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2014

I was driving through a reduced speed zone of 35 mph and went to set my cruise control, about 3-5 seconds later I felt the car go dead. I lost power steering and all electrical systems. My indicator lights were on and flickering and I had no control over the vehicle other than waining off to the side of the road to get out of the way of traffic. Once my car came to a stop I proceeded to turn off the ignition. I tried starting it and the engine turned a couple of times but went dead so I turned it off. I tried one more time to start the ignition and was only barely able to get the engine to start and maintain. I went off on my way and later on on my way home I stopped to get food and when I got back in my car I tried starting it and it struggled to start. I have only had my car for 1. 5 years and only in the past couple months experienced problems with my cruise control not activating and setting to my current speed.

4 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2013

Esc light stays on, brake lights don't work, and cruise control works sporadically, all fuses are working, a quick google search reflects that the a faulty brake light switch might be the cause, which in fact it was.
