Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving on a mountain road at about 50-55mph with the cruise control on in 5th gear. When I came to a steep hill the cruise control opened the throttle wide open to maintain the set speed, when the car started to bog down I decided to shift into 4th gear. When I pushed the clutch in, the cruise control shut off but the engine revved to 7000rpm and stayed there. …”
