I don't mean to burst your bubble Michael, but what I meant was that in
order for a recall to be put into effect you'd have to prove that the
particular cruise control was faulty by design, rather than just possibly
being not configured correctly as is most likely the case in your situation.
Quite simply, assuming that just because yours isn't working as you expect
it to that they're *all* like that isn't going to do it for you.

Well, for a start from what you've described I certainly wouldn't consider
it dangerous. Secondly you'd need to cite some other cases where the same
system performed for other people as it does for you and *then* prove that
it was a design issue that was the cause rather than just sloppy
installation/adjustment.

Well, I wish you luck with your quest, but something tells me your chances
of forcing a recall on this issue are pretty slim.

I'd prefer the factory unit myself.
