Description of the problem | While driving with the cruise control engaged and traveling in the right lane on an interstate, i applied the brakes to slow down from 65 to 55 as i approached a truck in front of me. This was done to allow a car in the passing lane to pass me. When that car had passed, i released the break to pass the truck ahead of me after having had the break applied for 5 or 6 seconds (far longer than necessary for the cruise control to have shut off.). When i released the break, the cruise control re-initiated itself and the vehicle returned to 65 mph without my touching any further pedals. My feet were on the floor and there were no floor mats near the pedals. The cruise control alone was accelerating the car. |
