Consumer Description

IN SLOWING TO PASS THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC I DISENGAGED CRUISE CONTROL (WHICH HAD BEEN SET TO 70MPH) BY HITTING THE BRAKES. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15MPH - THE CRUISE CONTROL RE-ENGAGED SPONTANEOUSLY CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. I SLAMMED THE BRAKES AGAIN - WHICH CAUSED THE CRUISE TO DISENGAGE AGAIN - AT WHICH POINT I SWITCHED CRUISE CONTROL OFF. *TR
