THERE IS EXCESS WIND NOISE AND SQUEAKS AND RATTLES AT SPEED, AND THE WINDOW LEAKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DURING HEAVY RAIN AND IN THE CAR WASH.

| 2004 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | DRIVING MY VEHICLE UP AN INCLINE NEAR MY HOME AND AT THE TOP I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I PRESSED THE OFF BUTTON ON CRUISE CONTROL (IN CASE IT WAS ON FOR SOME REASON) AND ALSO PRESSED THE BRAKES. THE CAR SLOWED BUT AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE BREAK IT SPED UP AGAIN. I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME SO I STAYED ON THE BREAK UNTIL THE TURN AT MY NEIGHBORHOOD. AFTER I TURNED I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE GATES TO OPEN SO I LET OFF THE BRAKES A BIT BUT THE CAR WOULD JUMP FORWARD. I TURNED IN AS SLOWLY AS I COULD AND BEFORE TURNING INTO MY DRIVE WHERE MY SON AND HIS FRIENDS WERE PLAYING IN THE YARD I STOPPED AS MUCH AS I COULD AND WHILE I HAD MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BREAK PULLED ON THE ACCELERATOR WITH MY RIGHT. THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE ENGINE SOUND AND I SLOWLY PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2008. IS THERE ANY SORT OF FIX?? *TR |
