- Vehicle speed control
USING CRUISE CONTROL ON HIGHWAY, IT SUDDENLY STARTED ACCELERATING AND DID NOT RESPOND TO TURNING IT OFF BY THE BUTTON OR BRAKING. SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES SLOWED IT DOWN TO ABOUT 60-70, BUT THE ACCELERATION RESUMED AS SOON AS BRAKE PRESSURE WAS LET UP. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND THE ENGINE REVVED ALMOST TO RED LINE BRIEFLY, THEN RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE DEALER INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. I BELIEVED AND TRIED IT ONE MORE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY WITH EXACTLY THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I NEVER USED THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN. I WASN'T AWARE OF NHTSA REPORTING AT THE TIME, AND WOULDN'T BOTHER YOU WITH MY STORY AT THIS LATE DATE,…

CONSUMER'S WIFE STATES THAT THE OTHER MORNING HUSBAND STARTED AUTO AND DROVE IT ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF, THEN HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND ENGINE CUT OFF. SHE STATES THAT HUSBAND MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN AND RESTART THE VEHICLE, DROVE IT HOME SLOWLY. THEN, HE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER/MECHANIC, AND AFTER EXAMINING THE VEHICLE HE WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANS AXLE HAD COME OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE. HUSBAND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED ON A MOUNTAIN. *AK
