I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR AND MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO STEP ON MY BRAKES TO PREVENT FROM REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ATTENTION WHEN I DRIVE. HOWEVER, LESS THAN ONE WEEK LATER, I NOTICED THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AND I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE BUTTON TO ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL AT ALL. I NEVER USE THIS FEATURE AND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS OCCURRED. I THEN BEGIN TO NOTICE THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL SIGN WOULD ACTIVATE ITSELF AND MY I WAS NO LONGER DRIVING AT THE SPEED THAT I THOUGHT I WAS. I DO NEED TO BACK UP AND STATE THAT I HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH MY ABS LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF AND HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO MARTIN CHEVROLET TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4-5 VISITS OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND OUT OF POCKET HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT AT THE TUNE OF $200. I DO COMMEND HIM FOR DIGGING DEEP TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HE NEVER GAVE UP TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. THE LAST ITEM I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT IS THE ISSUE OF ME BEING SHOCKED WITH SMALL JOLTS OF WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS SMALL ELECTRIC SHOCKS WHEN I WOULD OPEN MY CAR DOOR. THIS DATES BACK TO THE FIRST YEAR THAT I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW CAR. *TR
