1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2003

I have a 1999 Rav4. Yesterday I'm driving home from work. I heard a loud noise, I thought a rock hit my car. I stopped at the store and I go to get my keys out of ignition and the cruise control switch is broke. The back of the switch was just hanging. That was the laud noise I heard. The back popped off. Can you tell me if there is a recall for this? thank you.

2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/10/1999

Ntermittent problem with cruise control malfunctioning. Whenever cruise control is engaged it causes rpm to go down rapidly for a second and the overdrive to kick out. Dealer notified, and problem reoccurring.

The poorly designed cruise control does not turn off when the driver brakes gently to slow down gradually. Instead of slowing gradually the cruise control resumes and the vehicle surges froward increasing the potential for accidents. Nlm.

When using cruise control it would not disengage when touching the brakes lightly. Dealer was notified about the problem. Problem has been corrected.
