WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2005 DODGE CARAVAN THE CRUISE CONTROL SOMETIMES WILL NOT DISENGAGE BY TOUCHING THE BRAKE WHEN UNDER FULL ACCELERATION GOING UP A HILL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN A CAR IN FRONT HITS ITS BRAKE. IT REQUIRES FULL FORCE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. *NM
