| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | On 6 separate occasions i had my cruise control on on the highway. After either touching my brake or touching the cancel button the control cancelled itself. However 5 times going up the hill by my house and once on a side street the cruise control engaged itself and started to speed up i assume to highway speed. At all times i touched the brake or cancel button and it shut off. I just fell uneasy about this because i fear one day i may not be able to shut it off. I am an a well experienced driver i have driven everything from motorcycles to buses and tractor trailers over 50 years and this concerns me. |
