What owners wrote
When putting vehicle into reverse on a deep incline it surged forward, dealer has inspected vehicle, and could not duplicate the problem, manufacturer will be notified. *slc
After setting cruise control it will take off and accelerate until you manually shut the cruise control switch off. I even tapped on brake and it would continue. This problem seems to be very random.
