Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Driving home from work. Had used cruise control at 70mph on freeway, but had not used it in town. I was decelerating for a stop light, when it turned green. I was probably traveling 15-20mph when i began accelerating again. I heard a click, like a relay or solenoid and the vehicle began to accelerate as if i had hit "resume". Last speed preset had been 70mph. I was able to cancel the acceleration by hitting the brakes, but i nearly rear ended the car in front of me. I did not hit "resume" by mistake either, as my hand was not on the steering wheel near the buttons. In further troubleshooting, the cruise will not engage below 25mph. If resume is pushed before passing 25mph (during acceleration), then nothing happens. |
