| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While using cruise control, traveling down a moderately steep hill, the speed would not remain constant and the engine would actually engage to accelerate the vehicle rather than govern the speed at the mph setpoint, without having my foot on the throttle. The tachometer would show the engine rev increase and you could hear the engine as well when this happened. Obviously a very dangerous situation. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the car and cruise control were operating as designed! |
