Sometimes the experience is sudden and forceful enough that it almost feels like another car has bumped into me. This compels me to keep my foot on the brake forcefully, more so than is normally necessary in other vehicles. This is a safety concern, as without adequate brake…

This issue is repeatable and occurs under two circumstances. 1. When vehicle speed control has been previously set, and the "resume" function is used when actual speed is greater than or equal to 6mph slower than the previously set speed, the throttle moves to wide open and the transmission downshifts two gears and the vehicle accelerates very quickly until it exceeds the set speed by 5mph and then the throttle…
