Driving at 75 mph on cruise control. Needed to slow down so tapped brake pedal. Cruise would not release. Hit brake pedal again. No response. Pounded brake pedal and finally cruise cancelled. Dealership found cause to be a broken wire on the brake light switch. Luckily had room in traffic to handle the problem. Next step was to hit cruise off button.

Several months ago my car would stall whenever I would slow down (pressing the clutch and brake). I would have to restart my car while coasting, because my brake pedal would not go down to allow me to stop. I took it to audubon Ford in baton rouge, la for service. They replaced the idle air control valve. The problem didn't disappear, but became much less frequent. Today, I was on the interstate and had to slow down for traffic. It stalled again, and worse, my brakes stopped working. This is a very serious issue and needs to be recalled.
