Ranger

  • Manual transmission
  • miles
Cruise control is engaged, climbing a small rise. Also, needs to shift manually from 5th to 4th gear. When clutch pedal is depressed engine will race to a wide open throttle for second, and then it will come back to idle.dealer claimed cruise control was operating as designed. Cruise control will not deactivate by applying clutch pedal, only by applying brake pedal and button. This is in conflict with owner's and service manual.
