What owners wrote
While driving at 70 MPH, the cruise control would not disengage when driver tapped the brakes/accelerator or by turning off switch. Husband pulled up emgerency brake to stop vehicle, after brakes failed, which caused vehicle to fishtail and hit side of bridge. The vehicle will be repaired.
For several years now, the cruise control on the car will turn itself off while engaged, and, if left alone, will randomly reengage ten or fifteen minutes later with no warning. This can cause a surge of acceleration (as much as one can expect from a saturn, anyhow) if speed has slowed due to traffic.
