Hi All,
I was using the cruise control yesterday in adaptive mode. The car in front of me slowed down to a stop and the ST followed suit and stopped as it's supposed to.
After the 4 second interval, I was waiting for it to go to stop mode when all of the sudden, the ST took off and I had to quickly brake before it hit the car in front of me.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior and what do you think was the cause?
Note that the vehicle in front of me was not centered but a little more than half of it was still directly in front.
On another note, I was topping off all the fluids before a trip. The engine oil was a half quart down. Not paying attention, I picked up the wrong oil and put a half
quart of ULV transmission fluid in before I realized what I was doing. After this bonehead move, I drove to a Jiffy Lube that was about 5 miles away to drain and refill
with their full synthetic. Am I in any trouble by doing that? In an older engine, putting a half quart of trans fluid wouldn't be a problem but don't know how these newer
engines would respond to this. I regret not being able to refill with the Mobil One I usually use but I was already behind schedule for the trip so I had to use a quick service.
Thanks for your thoughts!
