Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving my vehicle on a city street at approximately 45 miles per hour, I set the cruise control to maintain the 45 mile per hour speed. After less than 60 seconds, the cruise control cause the vehicle to accelerate rapidly to 85 miles per hour. Stepping on the brake at first did not cancel the cruise control. When it did finally cancel, I continue to drive manually. The cruise control then took over again and cause the vehicle to accelerate rapidly, exceeding the speed limit. Once again, the brakes were applied and the cruise control cancelled. …”
NHTSA complaint #11109971, filed 2018-07, 182,000 miles“I purchased my 2005 Chevrolet 2500hd duramax in may of 2015. A week later I was pulled over for speeding 10 over. My truck showed I was driving 55 MPH. I now have a speeding ticket $114. I contacted GM about the issue and they said my VIN# was not qualified for the recall and I would be paying out of pocket ($535 including labor). The part alone is $350. Now at the end of the day I will owe $649 because of GM's mistake. I love GM's products, however they do not stand up to there mistakes which will make me think again before buying one.”
