Tl- the contact owns a 2019 Chrysler 300s. The contact stated while driving at approximate 77 mph on cruise control the vehicle unexpectedly veered off to the left without warning. The contact stated he had to forcefully turn the steering wheel to the right to gain control. The contact referenced this failure to (lane departure system) however after a few minutes the contact was able to drive the vehicle safely to his destination. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or a local mechanic for diagnosis, the manufacturer was not made aware of this failure. The failure mileage was at12,000 tp.
The cruise system malfunctioned. In multiple scenarios (at least three) when the cruise control was set, if the accelerator is pushed while the cruise control is engaged, the vehicle will continue to accelerate even if the accelerator is released. Disengaging the cruise control via brake usage or by hand on the steering wheel does not stop the unwanted acceleration. The only way to stop the acceleration is to move it from in drive to neutral. At that point, an error populates on the dash and the acceleration stops with cruise control disengagement as well. The issue is fixed upon placing the car back in drive. Unsolicited acceleration puts the driver and others on the road at risk. The issue has not been presented to a dealer or service center for review and has not been inspected by other entities. No dash messages or warnings occurred prior to the failure.
