criticalVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Filed: Aug 2025

While driving on the highway with cruise control engaged, your vehicle suddenly lost power and began decelerating without responding to throttle input, forcing you to coast across traffic lanes to the shoulder. After restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally with no error codes detected at the dealer. This same issue occurred again several months later with identical results. The problem may involve the throttle control system, engine management computer, or cruise control module needing diagnostic testing or replacement.

NHTSA #: 11680007
