| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When the speed control is engaged it works fine on level or climbing highway, but on the downhill side, the speed control does not hold the vehicle to the speed set. The vehicle speed keeps increasing depending on long the downhill section is and the brakes must be applied to slow the vehicle down. It was taken to the dealership at the time it was discovered and i was told there was nothing wrong with it and that i had to take it out of overdrive for the speed control to work properly. However, i tried this and the speed control did the same thing, increased speed on a down grade. On every other vehicle i have ever owned, the speed control, when engaged, controlled the downhill speed to the speed which was set. |
