What is wrong

In a heavily loaded vehicle, while in the cruise control mode, the throttle may not reduce immediately when the load on the engine is decreased (such as when the vehicle crests a hill.) this can result in increased vehicle speed without prior warning.

The risk

This can result in loss of speed control of the vehicle, and a possible accident.

The fix

Dealers will replace the electronic engine control module.
