I am writing to inform you of an incident which occurred on friday january 25, 2019 at approximately 2:40 pm while my son was operating his 2019 kia forte. the weather that day was sunny and clear and the road was dry and level. 1.my son was traveling north in the right lane of the seaford oyster bay expressway (ny-135) at normal highway speed. 2.as he approached exit 13e he began to decelerate engaged his right turn signal and entered the exit lane for exit 13e. 3.as he attempted to bear to the right and exit the highway the vehicles lane keeping assist system was pulling him to the left back towards the highway. 4.as he fought to turn the wheel to right to stay on the exit he entered the hashed section of roadway between the exit and the highway. as he applied the brakes in an attempt to stop, the vehicle's accelerator pinned itself to the floor all by itself causing the rear of the vehicle to fishtail to the left and he headed directly towards the guardrail on the right side of the exit. he then cut the wheel to correct the vehicle and the rear then fishtailed to the right. as this occurred he attempted to free the accelerator pedal with his foot without success. he then firmly applied the brakes which activated the anti-lock braking system and the accelerator pedal released from the floor. he was able to regain control of the vehicle and pulled off to the shoulder to collect himself and inspect the vehicle. thankfully he was not injured or involved in any collisions.
The cruise control won't hold me on the speed i set the cruise on. if i set it on 55 i look down i'm up to 70 miles.
