I have now driven the Ampera for 2600 miles and have noticed on occasions some unexpected results when using the cruise control.
It is difficult to pin down but it goes something like this...
Set the cruise for a speed - say 40mph now I cruise along and then there is a need to slow down either by braking or cancelling the cruise mode. Then as I drive further there is a need to accelerate to say 60mph to keep up with the traffic. Then as the need for speed is completed I use the cruise button to "Resume" to 40mph (push the button up - not down to set the speed). Instead of resuming the cruise sets the current speed which is not IMHO what should happen. I have, I think also, seen it set a lower speed.
This does not appear to happen all the time so it is difficult to pin down the exact sequence of events.
Has anyone else had the same sort of experience?
