I’ve experienced that quite a bit, but there’s been a few times that the car exceeded the set cruising speed while trying to resume. I forget it happens because it’s happened about 4 times since purchasing the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11737989, filed 2026-05“This same incident had happened 6 times prior to my being able to take a picture of my dashboard.

I have taken it for service at ed morse Kia in sierra vista, az and the problem couldn't be duplicated or fixed. I have told the sales mgr. And service mgr. …”
