| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When ever i put my cruise control on, the car will stay at the speed that i set it at for just a short while. It then starts to speed up by 2 mph and now im cruising at what i set it at +2, then it will speed up again by 2 mph, and then im cruising at what i set it at + 4 mph. I had this happen to me once where the cruise control raised my speed by 8 mph once with out me trying to raise my own speed. I believe this could be a safety issue in the winter time snow and ice, also if i didn't pay attention to the speed in which i was traveling i could of gotten a spending ticket - (blame it on the cruise control) yeah right. |
