ONE CANNOT DISABLE CRUISE CONTROL IF ENGAGED IN THE EVENT BRAKE SWITCH FAILS AS THEY ARE ON THE SAME CIRCUIT. THIS HAPPENED LAST MONTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING FROM HOUSTON TO SAN ANTONIO. THE CRUISE SPEED WAS SET AT AROUND 70MPH AND WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON I-10W. AS THERE WAS TRAFFIC WITH A TRUCK TO MY RIGHT AND A CAR IN FRONT OF ME GOING AT LESS THAN 65 MPH. I TAPPED ON THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I WAS FRIGHTENED AS I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN THE CAR AND FINALLY I MOVED THE CRUISE LEVER AND IT DISENGAGED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY AND A DESIGN FLAW. THE BRAKE SWITCH HAD FAILED BUT UNFORTUNATELY CRUISE AND BRAKE SWITCH ARE ON THE SAME CIRCUIT. NO ONE THANK GOD GOT HURT. REPLACING THE BRAKE SWITCH FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR
