| 2011 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHEN YOU BACK OFF THE THROTTLE AND SLOW TO 20 TO 25 MPH, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THE CAR WILL DO. IT MAY COAST LIKE A NORMAL CAR. IT MAY DOWNSHIFT AND SLOW MODERATELY. OR IT MAY DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AND SLOW RADICALLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE COMPUTER TAKES FULL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. YOU STEP ON THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THE COMPUTER HAS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR THE NEXT 5 SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 40 DIFFERENT TIMES. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FIRST, I AM IN THE DRIVER SEAT AND I SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT. SECONDLY, MOST PEOPLE DRIVE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. IF I SLOW RADICALLY FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AND ALL OF THE DRIVERS AROUND ME CONTINUE ON, SOMEONE BEHIND ME WILL RUN INTO ME. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A DISTRACTED DRIVER SMASHES INTO ME. AND THIRDLY, SINCE I NEVER TOUCHED THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT I AM RADICALLY SLOWING AND CREATING SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF YOU STEP ON THE GAS TO GET THE CAR TO GO, NOTHING HAPPENS. THEN THE COMPUTER RETURNS CONTROL TO THE DRIVER AND THE CAR TAKES OFF AT FULL SPEED. IF YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE, THE COMPUTER TAKES OVER. YOU THEN MUST COME TO A FULL COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE COMPUTER WILL RETURN CONTROL TO THE DRIVER. IF YOU ARE MAKING A TURN WHEN THE CAR RADICALLY SLOWS, YOU COULD VERY EASILY LOOSE CONTROL. WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR SLIPPERY, THE PROBLEM IS GREATLY INCREASED. YOU ARE TOTALLY AT THE MERCY OF AN INSANE COMPUTER. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. PLEASE GO TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND TEST DRIVE A CRUZE WITH THE AUTOMATIC SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION. YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN. |
