IllustrationI’m driving with cruise control on the highway at 65 and all of a sudden it shuts off. The check cruise system light comes on along with a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle of it in the lower left side of dashboard and the letters EPB lights up on the lower right side of dashboard.

Two different scenarios with this cruise control are problems with this vehicle. When it is raining the system with the cruise control does not work and the shop told me it happens with other vehicles. A warning light appears when this happens. This last time it was not raining and the cruise control quit working and the warning light came on as well as another system warning light. I showed the picture to the guy at the shop and he said after I showed him the picture he knew what to do, he had to reset the system. Yes, it’s available for inspection. When you’re driving in traffic on the highway going 65 and the car slows down for no apparent reason, that is a problem. The vehicle has not been inspected.

On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition.
