I was driving along interstate 480 and deployed cruise control on my Neon at 60 mph. I had to slow down briefly, and then engaged the "accelerate" option on cruise control to speed back up. The car immediately revved up towards a much higher speed and I had to quickly shut off cruise control. I have seen other reports of this same incidence, and am surprised nothing has been done about it. I am a freelance writer with a huge network of friends. I would hate to have to write a bad review of my experience, and call out Dodge for not fixing what I would think is a very serious, possibly deadly, problem. Thank you.
While having the cruise control on, the engine will all of a sudden race/accelerate beyond what it should.
