Patriot LX 3.2L

cruise accelerated randomly and picked up speed

I was on my first trip to enjoy the fall color on my jeep which at that point had 20 k miles on it and found a good spot of highway and felt like using the cruise for the first at a 65 mph speed limit road when I set it at 65 mph it was driving smoothly then suddenly it accelerated with a sudden boast of power and picked up speed. I was amazed and intimidated had to immediately get the car of cruise as in went as high as 70 mph, I have called the dealer and asked him a lot of time after being put on hold for minutes to be told that it was just a one time occurrence and will not happen. I am not satisfied with the explanation that I got and have decided never to use the cruise control again and would advice the same to all traveling with family.
