| Description of the problem | While driving the vehicle on the highway at 70 mph, the cruise control shut off and the car began to slow down. I was able to maintain control and noticed 3 error messages including: esc inoperable, cruise control inoperable, and collision prevention plus inoperable. I was able to continue driving and when i went to accelerate from a stop light, the accelerator was unresponsive and took several seconds for the vehicle to move almost causing an accident from a car traveling close behind me. All of this happened while i was driving the vehicle to the dealership for its first service. The dealer was notified of the problem and is investigating the issue. |
