IMPACT TO FRONT OF VEHICLE CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL SERVO TO PULL THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE FASTENER OUT OF ITS BRACKET AFTER THE RETAINING TABS BROKE OFF.

I HAVE THE REPORT FROM THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR TO SUBSTANTIATE THE CAUSE, I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN AGAIN IF A SIMILAR IMPACT TAKES PLACE. THE OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AS MY HUSBAND AND I, WE WALKED AWAY, OTHERS MAY NOT!
