Consumer Description

WHEN I'M DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH HOT LANE TO THE LEFT OF MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, THE CAR ERRONEOUSLY SENSES THE SPEED LIMIT AS 65 MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT FOR THE ADJACENT HOT LANE) RATHER THAN THE ACTUAL SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH IN MY LANE. THE RESULT IS THAT WHEN I AM USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IN THE SITUATION DESCRIBED, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATES BY AT LEAST 10 MPH OVER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AND MAKES USE OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE UNSAFE.
