Vitara 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,214 miles
While driving at 75 mph with the cruise control on, the vehicle became stuck in cruise mode. When trying to disengage the cruise control, the consumer was unable to do so. The consumer struggled to apply the brakes, finally getting the vehicle to slow down enough to shut the ignition off. The vehicle was restarted, and the cruise control was still active. The consumer had to physically pull the gas pedal from the floor of the vehicle. The dealer and manufacturer had not been notified.
