| Description of the problem | I am having the same problem as mentioned in consumer complaint: odi case number: 10188438 (component: vehicle speed control:cruise control). Whenever i start up a steep or slightly steep hill with the cruise control on, the car doesn't start to accelerate soon enough. Then, it appears to accelerate all at once. I have started accelerating the car myself, rather than allowing the cruise control to accelerate, on hills. As stated in the previous complaint, the cruise control works fine on fairly level ground. |
