Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 77,850 miles
The speed control deactivation switch on the steering wheel will not turn off the cruise control. Tapping the brake pedal does turn it off. When leaving the freeway and driving on surface streets, the cruise control reactivates if the resume button is brushed. My local Ford Agency explained that it's caused by a defective switch on the master cylinder. That's the same problem that lead to earlier recalls by Ford.
