| Description of the problem | Driving at highway speed, with cruise control engaged, and beginning to climb a gentle hill, engine suddenly accelerates at full throttle, and the transmission downshifts two gears. It causes the vehicle to suddenly and rapidly accelerate. Vehicle is very difficult to control on snowy, or rain slick roadways. If following another vehicle that slows on hill, such as a semi tractor-trailer, there is eminent danger of a rear-end collision. This is not an isolated incident, it occurs every time three conditions are met: 1. Cruise control is engaged. 2. Vehicle drives up incline or hill. 3. Highway speed. |
