| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I have a 2013 honda crv. About 20% of the time when i put on the cruise control the car will start accelerating quickly - going from about 55 mph to 70 mph within 10 seconds or so. Pushing the cancel button does nothing. I have to step on the brakes to disengage the cruise control. The main highway out of town has a speed limit of 55 mph. If i don't watch closely to make sure the car won't accelerate i can be up to 70 mph quickly and i doubt a police officer would believe my explanation. Fortunately i have not gotten a speeding ticket. This was not a problem when i first got the car four months ago. It started about one month ago. |
