What owners wrote
Cruise control would not disengage. Instead it accelerated me to 85 mph is rush hour traffic. The car continued to accelerate will out responding to any commands to turn off cruise control. Second time this has happened. It was supposed to be fixed by doing an update to the car. This did not work. The second time I attempted to use cruise control after having had the long block engine replaced due to the oil consumption law suit, the car once again had the same problem with now slowing down.
Vehicle was in motion at about 25-30 MPH when the vehicle shut off completely, engine was not going and power steering, brakes, and all electronics would not work until the car coasted into a parking lot. The car was put in park and then turned back on as normal. Incident has happened four times now at speeds of 45MPH , 20MPH, 25MPH, and 10MPH.
