I had my Leaf cruise control act up a bit yesterday. I searched and didn't find any other reports. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this.
I was on cruise control at 61 MPH last night. I had been on cruise for about 10 miles and everything was fine and suddenly, the car started slowing down. I looked down to see the speed drop to about 56 and then stabilize. The display showed that the cruise control was still set. My hand was nowhere near the cruise control buttons/toggle and my foot was not touching any pedal.
After establishing that nothing looked wrong on the displays (other than the speed), I flicked the toggle up a few times, slowly, until I was back at 61. It behaved fine the rest of the trip home (another 5 miles).
Note that the cruise control never actually disengaged as it would if I pressed the brake or pushed CANCEL. It was as if flicked down the toggle a few times (though I did not).
I am happy that if the cruise control decided to screw up, it slowed down instead of increasing speed. However, in all of my years of driving, including 4 years in a Gen II Prius with a similar cruise control, I have never had this happen. Just a little disconcerting.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
