Heard a pop and cruise control lost speed, and then accelerated higher speed until I turned off speed control. Speed control does not work any more. Cost 112. 00 to find out what part is needed. 2. Driver side mirror has steadily getting worse since 2008. The heating element has distorted mirror making it bronze. Need to replace but Ford does not have the mirror.
