| Description of the problem | I live in a flatter area of the us. No problems here. However, while traveling in some more hilly states recently i experienced multiple occasions when the cruise control would cause the vehicle to accelerate well beyond the setting. 15-20 mph above setting. Engine rpm would go as high as 5000. The system would not immediately disengage. I had to hit the brakes and the cancel button several times before cruise control would disengage. This occurred while traveling at interstate speeds of 65-70 mph. |
