The problem
Soldered terminals of the cruise control computer may develop cracks due to improper application of the coating to the printed circuit board. Consequence of defect: continued use of cruise control could lead to complete separation of soldered terminals and circuit failure; engine speed would instantly race and vehicle could suddenly accelerate, possibly resulting in an accident.
The fix
REPLACE CRUISE CONTROL COMPUTER, IF NECESSARY.
