Nothing obvious however further investigation required.

Hate to think what happens when you turn on the cruise control.

If my translation of your problem is correct then the fault could possibly be the "clock spring" behind the steering wheel.

So this clock spring behind the steering wheel has what function exactly? And is it accesible easily?
Also got a problem with hot water coming out from vent under air conditioning system, must be from the engine?

forget about the paddles,,
worry about the coolant leak!!!
