Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
Cruise control accelerating and can not be shut off. *bf the consumer had four separate incidents with his vehicle in which cuise control starts accelorating and con not be shut off unless the consumer turns off vehicle.
Cruise control was set to 55 MPH when vehicle started accelerating at a rapid speed.*mr the consumer turn the cruise control off and applied the brake but that did not stop the vehicle from accelerating. The consumer had to turn the ignition off and coast to the shoulder.
Engine RPM's went to 5500 RPM's, vehicle did not go faster, just the motor. When cruise control was turned off, the vehicle coasted to the side of the road, as if the transmission had went to neutral, pushing on the gas pedal did not help.
Cruise control cannot be shut off via brake, only via master on/off switch. Yesterday, even the master switch would not cut off the cruise control and it stuck in the accelerate position causing a run away vehicle situation. I had to smoke the brakes to stop an kill engine. Vehicle has been towed to local chevy dealership. This hapened first when the truck was only 2 weeks old and then again yesterday twice. Yesterday was the first time for the master switch to fail also. Very dangerous!!! F.
The cruise control was not shutting off with application of the brake pedal only the master on/off switch, however the on/off switch failed to shut off the cruise control resulting in sudden acceleration.
