Cruise Control

Our cruise control ceased working ever since the accident last year. We finally took it to the dealership last week and was told the bracket of control module was bent, causing the laser beams to aim sideways and think that every car is too close to us. Since it costs over $1,000 to fix it, the dealer suggested that we work with the body shop who did the repair work.

Body shop came back and told us that they would have to order a new control module for us and install it. The parts cost $1,200 but we don't have to pay anything because we already paid our deductible when we filed the claim. It's from the same accident so insurance company owes us a new control module. Body shop already placed the order. When the parts come in we can drop off the Sienna for one day and get the new system installed.

Nothing on an expensive car is cheap. Insurance always wants to save money when it comes to repair the car. In this case, the body shop bent the bracket back to shape last year without knowing the laser beams come out of the bracket.
