Another Cruise Control Fault
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2021 11:59 am
My car is a Hybrid Premium SE and I paid extra for adaptive cruise on a 2019 model
Just recently the set speed on the cruise control, which has been set for motorway speeds suddenly 'adjusts' itself to 47 mph. Obviously on a motorway this means the car brakes itself as it suddenly finds itself doing 20+mph over the set speed. If left it will just as suddenly go back to the original set speed. More worrying, however, is when it sets itself to 100mph! It has happened twice.
I have taken the car in and not unsurprisingly the dealer cannot find a fault, this is despite me showing them the fault via video. They now want me to go out on a test drive with a technician to attempt to replicate the fault. I'm not sure what this would achieve...
We have started to record when and where the fault occurs, on a three hour trip to Nottingham yesterday it happened between J23 and J25 on the M1, driving time about two and a half hours. On the way home it happened between J25 and J23 on the M1, driving time half an hour. Thinking back to previous times the car has exhibited the fault, we can only place it on the M1.
My questions to you all are
Has his happened to any of you?
And, has your dealer managed to fix it?
Does anyone know of anything (around Nottingham) that may affect the electronics of a car?
