WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL AND GOING UP A HILL, THE OVERDRIVE GOES OFF LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. AFTER CRESTING THE HILL, THE OVERDRIVE DOES NOT RE-ENGAGE UNTIL SOMETIMES 1/2 MILE (EVEN GOING DOWN HILL). THIS LEAVES THE ENGINE RUNNING AT 4000RPM (NORMAL IS ABOUT 2500RPM). DANGEROUS? PROBABLY TO SOMEONE NOT EXPECTING IT.

NHTSA #: 731423
