Lancer oz rally edition: Within 6 months of ownership, noticed problems with cruise control, occuring at any speed in which cruise control function is used: When vehicle was in cruise control and accelerating at set speed, car would accelerate excessively for very minimal inclines. When using the coast function, vehicle would slow down until you let off the switch, and then speed would rapidly increase beyond previous position, before finally settling back to the reduced speed chosen. When using the accelerate option, vehicle would speed up when switch used and would continue fast acceleration after release of switch. Would increase about 2-3 miles per hour past release of the switch and then finally settle back to the faster speed chosen. Notified local dealership of this problem. They told me they test drove the car and could not duplicate the problem, therefore, it was not an issue. Vehicle continues to do this and when trying to coast with the cruise control I have had to apply breaks rapidly to avoid car from speeding to fastly, possibly hitting slow moving vehicles infront of me. Also, local dealership did not provide me with a reciept showing that the vehicle was in for said problem, or that any thing had been done to check for it....I only had the word of the service writer.
