Cruise Control Problems of Saturn SC2

While driving at approximately 65 mph the consumer swerved to avoid hitting the braking car in front of her. The consumer swerved into the right lane, overcompensated and turn 180 degrees. In doing so, the passenger side slammed against a guardrail. The vehicle was forced head on into traffic an up a stone embankment at 50 mph. Upon impact the air bags never deployed. Prior to losing control the consumer felt as though the vehicle was accelerating as she was trying to brake. The cruise control button was switched to on but it was not engaged. Even after the vehicle had come to a complete stop the vehicle continued to rev as if in high gear. In may of 2000 the cruise control was replaced because of a similar problem. The adjuster was unable to determine conclusively that the cruise control was the cause of the accident. The driver was 17 weeks pregnant at time of the accident.

While driving with cruise control activated the vehicle was braking and the vehicle accelerated up to 80 mph. The braking system was inoperative, causing a frontal accident with the barriers in which the driver's and passenger's airbags did not deploy, failing to protect the occupants in this accident.
