The cruise control on my 2010 Dodge Journey surges / jerks / and RPM increases considerably when engaged and going downhill. On flat surfaces it seems to work correctly, however there has been two occasions, just recently, when my wife was operating the vehicle to and from work at Mississippi state university, that has us alarmed. The distance is approximately 30 miles one way and there are only 3 short downgrades that this occurred on. This problem does seem to be increasing over the last few weeks. Thank you for any consideration pertaining to this problem. I have replied about this problem and apparently there are others with this same problem that has been classified as "no fix". if I could I would return this vehicle to the Dodge dealer because there has been nothing but problems with this vehicle. This has now become, yet another separate problem, with the possibility of endangering our lives. I personally will not purchase another Chrysler product.
