WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL IS SET ON, AND A LEADING VEHICLE IS ENGAGED BY THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL, IF THE LEADING VEHICLE TURNS OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL SUDDENLY DISENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY AND UNDER 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR HESITATES AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IF WILL FINALLY GO WITH A JERKING TO THE PASSENGERS. IT ALSO HAS A PROBLEM ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT SEEMS TO LACK THE POWER TO PASS ANYONE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE ALSO. WHEN MOVING INTO DIFFERENT GEARS THE CAR WOULD ALSO FEEL AS IF IT WERE JERKING INTO GEARS. SEEMS TO BE WORSE ON COLD STARTS BUT WAS DEFINITELY STILL A PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING AND HAVING TIME TO WARM UP.
