I have had a "few" times where while on cruise control the car has accelerated for no apparent reason, or was there a hill???? ... one such occasion I DID note that there was no hill or reason for the SPEED (down shift) shrugged it off thought AUTO transmission caught me un awares ??? .. maybe I was not paying attention ??? .. I hit brake as 140kms (revs to red as well!!) NOT a good look !!! ... reset cruise & kept going .......... till after GangsterPT put in the newsletter ref possible unexpected engine acceleraton Warning (see April edition) .... I do have a CD mounted in the dash NO blue tooth etc and cruise control is standard chrysler?? .... if this is related I have NO idea & it is only twice that it really kicked in I think ..... this prompted me to put up this topic so members can put up if they have had a similar problem ..... & for me to log & keep track IF it happens again ... I don't use the CB just have it on to monitor for flash for cash or road incidents & when we go on club cruises !!! ... I will also PAY more atttention IF it happens again .. thanks gangster ..

Hey Dot I use CB & have the DVD going with cruise controll on & have had no problems to date.

ditto. Mine is going most of the time on the open road but must admit it not an auto!

Dot, don't forget your 10 stacker CD under your seat. But I have one of those also and now problems with the cruise control (just tested on over 4000kms of holidaying!)

interesting .. do U think the laser on the stacker could have some issues OR are U pulling my leg !.. thanks for posting ... we will have to compare notes .. I didn't use my cruise control for the first two years with city driving ... only started on the 3 hour hwy runs so I don't get booked .. up hill & down dale NOT the best route to be using it on though ... my trip on monday was in the dark .. only one spot where I thought what ??? .. doubt that was necessary & had to pull her up .. the other spots were on the hills.. I will be taking the cruise control off maybe even use the stick shift feature (figure that out first) ... that way make the climb a little more fuel efficient & not so scary ...

Was it wet? you can get this effect if you use cruise control in the wet.

Was it wet? you can get this effect if you use cruise control in the wet.good point .. but I have been TOLD NOT to use the cruise control in the wet at all ..

Do you mean wet or really wet?

I have always used my cruise control in the wet with no problems. Not aware of any advice not to use in the wet.

hi dot, if i remember right,i think in one of your last pics you put on here,you had a ICOM PRO-400 uhf radio near your gear stick,

now these units do give out 25-watts on uhf, if thay have been turned up,and if you got this unit second hand well it might have all ready been done with out you knowing,

now what im saying is .........is there any way when you had the cruse control turned on ..that some thing or some one bumped the mic to send out a carryer...ie keyed it up ...

and if you cant remember well the next free time you have take some one with you and when on a strate road turn on the cruise control and set it ...then a min or two later then send a blank carryer or give a call out for some one over the radio ....do this 2-3 times in the space of 2 mins...
and see what happens.....

it might be it or it might not
the reason i say this is becouse ive been in to radio for the last 26 years and being a radio ham also i have heard of this thing going on....
its from the back of the radio sending out dirty (R-F) signels.to the antenna.so it does afect the on bord comp with bad (R-F) field going around the car....


hope this helps ...(zebra)

wet roads .. of any type I have been told I need to be in command & concentrating NO cruise control .. it was here on forum too some where about hitting water and wheels spinning I think ...

zebra 3 thanks for info ref cb .. it was a NEW one out of the box (good thought!!) ... will take notes .. I am only one in car and have the mic on hook most of time ... listen mostly ... phantom has heard of the interference too ... UD trucks years ago .. and in the mines with some equipment ...
Crewzr .. we need to compare notes next we cruise ...
