    I didn't know about the cruise control switch, but the brake light is just stupid. It sucks for the automatic cars b/c it won't let them take it out of park hahaha. I actually had a problem with the brake light on my gti, but I never got a letter for it in the mail. My light just turns on in the middle of the night and will stay on the whole night. Stupid VW's

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!

    It's only like a $10 part, so it's not like they're losing a lot anyways. They should of recalled a bunch of other things, such as the switch in the seatbelt that activates the airbags, the faulty windows, the entire fautly electrical system, the shitty ass mounts, the heated seats that catch fire, etc....

    Same thing happened on my sis's NB and a friends Jetta. Its a stupid design. basically a manual little switch that gets pressed in when you press the brake. That tells the car the brake is down which allows you out of park...you would think it would be more complex then a little almost button like thing...
