Consumer Description

ON EVEN MINOR DECLINES, THE VAN GAINS SPEED WELL PAST ACCEPTABLE LIMITS WHILE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED. I HAVE HAD TO BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT PASSES 10 MPH OVER THE SET SPEED. MY 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, SO NOT SURE WHY A NEWER MODEL VEHICLE DOES. IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ACCELERATE BUT IT DOES NOT BRAKE TO MAINTAIN CRUISING SPEEDS ON EVEN SLIGHTLY GRADED DOWNHILL SLOPES. THE LONGER THE SLOPE, THE WORSE THE EFFECT.
