Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: For approx. 7 month period, cruise control erratic. when on highway, with cruise power on, and press set speed, car rapidly accelerates to approx. 72+ mph and cruise would disengage spontaneously. after each incident like this, cruise would not function at all until car is turned off and on again. typical behavior: get on highway, get to 60 - 65 mph, turn cruise control power on, press to set speed, and car accelerates rapidly. all this behavior stopped spontaneously in december, and now cruise functions normally. i am worried that behavior, which lasted 7 months, will re-occur in the future.
