What owners wrote
Cruise control component over took the brake system. Car accelerated from 25 miles a hour in stop and go traffic to 40 miles an hour. This happened in spite of the brakes being compressed. This cause me and my family to end up unde the rear of truck. This action kad occurred again to me personally and to two other persons. This problem was reported to the dealership several times and claimed to have repaired it , but the same thing happenned again on the way home from the shop.
I was on my way to work that morning and there was a loud clunk and then the wheel locked up. I was unable to break or turn the steering wheel without major difficulty. My speedometer went from 45 to 10 in seconds so I was able to coast to a stop. When the car was towed and checked by the mechanic I was told that the timing change prematurely "popped" and one for the pulley's bent all of the valves which blew my motor. I was then told that it would take $5000 to replace the motor.
