ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER USED MY CRUISE CONTROL SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY CAR. I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY; ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL. THE ENGINE WAS RACING TO A HIGH RPM AND ACCELERATING. TWO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IMMEDIATELY, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE EVEN WHEN HITTING THE BRAKE. WHILE I TRIED REGAINING CONTROL OF MY CAR I TRIED TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF. IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HIT CANCEL ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT STILL WOULDN'T DISENGAGE. FINALLY, I KEPT BRAKING AND PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR, WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, CONTINUED TO REV UP. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STILL ENGAGED, EVEN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT NOW OFF, AND THE R.P.M'S CONTINUED TO BE HIGH, SO I TOOK THE NEXT EXIT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR 15 MINUTES. THE TWO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CAR IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL COMES ON AFTER 40 MPH ON ITS OWN AND THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION MY MAIL TWICE THIS YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE ABOUT REPAIR AND HAVE WAITED MORE THAN SIX MONTHS WITHOUT RESULT. EACH TIME I CALL, I'M TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVE. SIX MONTHS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR A REPAIR OF A PART THAT COULD TAKE YOUR LIFE OR CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BODILY INJURY EACH TIME YOU MUST DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE TO EXPEDITE THESE REPAIRS?
