| Description of the problem | Cruise control does not operate properly with manual transmission. The throttle will hesitatate and surge when descending on even a small hill. This is distracting to the driver and could be a safety concern. I contacted the dealer and was informed that this is how the vehicle was designed and a fix is not possible. |
