When the brakes are engaged or the speed control is switched off, the vehicle will slow down. This is not an issue with going downhill at too steep of an angle. When the speed control has been shut off, then the vehicle readily slowed down due to braking effect each time. This has happened twice, and each time speed built rapidly to over 90 MPH.”
