The contact stated that while driving up an incline at 78 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle continued to accelerate while going downhill. There was no warning light illuminated. There was an abnormal sputtering sound coming from the vehicle while depressing the brake pedal; however, the vehicle continued to accelerate. The brake pedal was firm, and the vehicle continued to accelerate down a steep hill. While approaching a wide left turn, the contact deactivated the cruise control after an audible high-pitched sound came from the vehicle. After deactivating the cruise control, the contact was able to regain control of the vehicle and resume normal operation. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
While stopped at a traffic light, I went to accelerate when the light turned green. The vehicle turns off to save gas when it is at a standstill and will power up when the brake is released. Today at the light I went to release from the brake and it would not move. Instead it started I had to turn on again. Which it took several times before it would start. Cars were behind me and one almost hit me due to the light being green and I was just sitting there.
