Consumer Description

ON A FEW OCCASSIONS CRUISE CONTROL CAUSED A GRADUAL UNWANTED ACCELERATION FROM HIGHWAY SPEED TO APPX. 70 MPH BEFORE I MANUALLY DISENGAGED SAME. ADDITIONALLY, WITHOUT WARNING, CRUISE CONTROL HAS SELF DISENGAGED, CAUSING UNWANTED DECELERATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON A GREAT MANY OCCASSIONS, AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, BUT GENERALLY AT BETWEEN 45 & 55 MPH. SOMETIMES, AFTER DISENGAGING BY ITSELF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO "RE-ENGAGE" THE CRUISE CONTROL. THESE OCCURRENCES ARE NOT PREDICATED BY ANY SPECIFIC WEATHER CONDITION, ROAD SURFACE CONDITIONS, OR TOUCHING THE BREAK PEDAL. THEY HAVE OCCURRED ON FLAT, LEVEL, GOOD QUALITY ROAD SURFACES IN DRY WEATHER. ON ONLY A FEW OCCASSIONS AFTER THE SELF DISENGAGEMENT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS FELT TO "CLICK" THEN BECOME RE-ENGAGED WITH CRUISE CONTROL. OCCASSIONS HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY INTERMITTENT TO NOT SEEM A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO TAKE TO DEALER. *AK
