Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE 480 AND DEPLOYED CRUISE CONTROL ON MY NEON AT 60 MPH. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BRIEFLY, AND THEN ENGAGED THE "ACCELERATE" OPTION ON CRUISE CONTROL TO SPEED BACK UP. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY REVVED UP TOWARDS A MUCH HIGHER SPEED AND I HAD TO QUICKLY SHUT OFF CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME INCIDENCE, AND AM SURPRISED NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. I AM A FREELANCE WRITER WITH A HUGE NETWORK OF FRIENDS. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO WRITE A BAD REVIEW OF MY EXPERIENCE, AND CALL OUT DODGE FOR NOT FIXING WHAT I WOULD THINK IS A VERY SERIOUS, POSSIBLY DEADLY, PROBLEM. THANK YOU.
