Description of the problem | Was driving on the freeway. Car had cruise control on and i stepped on the brakes and disengaged it and continued driving. When i pressed the resume button to get back on cruise control, the car accelerated about 7 mph past the set speed and i had to slam on the brakes and repeatedly press the c. C. Cancel button to stop extra acceleration. I understand some people may think it's the car speeding up to get to the speed quickly, which it did, but then it just kept accelerating and the motor was whining like it was really trying to race off. This happened about a half a dozen times before i stopped using the c. C. All together. When i called the dealership i was told it was that the car was "zippy" because it was a v6 and it is the cruise control speeding up to the last set speed. No parts were ever fixed on it. I ended up selling it last year after owning it around 9 months. |
