Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | When traveling with the cruise control on, set or not, some times when pressing the resume button, the cruise control shuts off completely. Requiring you to get your foot on the gas fast. This can be a problem when navigating traffic, and using the cruise to bump up the speed a couple on mph, and instead you just lost some, and the guy behind you thinks you are a jerk for pulling in the passing lane and slowing down. That is if he notices and don't run in to you first. Or you settle back into traffic hit the resume, take your foot off the pedal, and then realize you are slowing down very fast. I don't know how often this has happened but i would guess over 100 time so far. At first i thought i was inadvertently hitting the off button, then i saw my thumb was now where near the off button when it happened. It has been doing this from new. |
