Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 895 miles
Intermittently driving at any speed, the cruise control would disengage with out warning. The cruise control would have to be reset in order for it to be engaged again. The vehicle has been examined by the dealer, who could not duplicate the problem. Checked vehicle with a Ford engineer, but cruise control won't disengage. It has to be set at 55 to 65 mph to disengage.
