Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving on hilly streets with 55 MPH speed limit, truck will not maintain 55 MPH speed using cruise control.. Traveling up hill, truck drops 5-8 MPH before downshifting to lower gear. The downshift is abrupt rather than a smooth. Without cruise control engaged, disengaging overdrive is the only way to maintain speed.”
