Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The cruise control kept on going out on us on our trip through new mexico, arizona. it was really annoying and could have been dangerous if there had been more traffic. i had to keep an eye on the odometer or speedometer as closely as i could. i felt that this could have really been dangerous. i talked to a mechanic in a gas station and he told me that it possibly could be compression. he could not help me. we traveled extensively through the areas of arizona and new mexico, and i thouht that maybe it was due to elevation that would be causing some of the problems. when returning to our home in indianapolis though, while going through the flatlands of kansas, and some of the other places where it was flat, it did the same thing. i would set the cruise, it would work for a while, then it would fail by slowing down tremendously, as i did not have my foot on the gas pedal, thinking all along that it would work in these areas. there were no hills, so what was i to lose. except i did lose the power of the cruise control. also the air conditioner seem to be affected also. i would lose some power from the air conditioner. even now while traveling around the highways here in indy it happens also.
