When the cruise control is on and I hit a bump in the road the cruise control will shut off. I can put my foot under the brake pedal and put slight pressure on it and the cruise control will stay on. I have replaced the brake pedal switch but the control will still shut off with a bump. Any ideas?

It sounds like the switch is out of adjustment.

1. Reset the switch.

1 Pull the switch plunger out to its full extent.
2 Fully depress the brake pedal.

4 Slowly release the brake pedal.
