From a stop, at times when i take my foot off the brake with the auto-engine idle set to "on", when i try to accelerate, the engine will cut off. The car puts itself in either neutral or park, then i have to restart the car - depress brake and press button - after 30 seconds to a minute. I was lucky not to have been rear-ended since at a green light, other drivers go, and do not expect a driver in front of them to…

If i set cruise control and go down a hill or incline it does not maintain the cruise control and continuously gains speed up to 10-15 miles over what it is set at. Could go higher, but i notice it and hit the brake which shuts it off. I brought this to the attention of the dealer where i purchased the car and they say this is normal and there is nothing wrong with it. I disagree and see this as a safety issue.

This has happened multiple times. So far i have avoided an accident, but there have been times that it was a very close call. The vehicle behind me had to swerve to another lane to avoid hitting me. The system is very jerky, speeding up and…
