Pedal misapplication [3] [1] [9] Unresponsive (entrapped) pedals [10] Electronic throttle control, throttle position sensor fault or cruise control failure (see drive by wire) [11] Stuck throttle (unrelated to pedal position) [12] [13] Shorting of tin whiskers [14] [15] Diesel engine runaway: Diesel engine power is governed by the amount of ...
The driver must manually bring the vehicle up to speed and use a button to set the cruise control to the current speed. The cruise control takes its speed signal from a rotating driveshaft, speedometer cable, wheel speed sensor from the engine's RPM, or internal speed pulses produced electronically by the vehicle. Most systems do not allow the ...
Adaptive cruise control does not provide full autonomy: the system only provides some help to the driver, but does not drive the car by itself. [3] For example, the driver is able to set the cruise control to 55mph, if the car while traveling that speed catches up to another vehicle going only 45mph, the ACC will cause the car to automatically brake and maintain a safe distance behind the ...
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a lower court judge had discretion to let drivers sue in groups over Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles equipped with 8L45 or 8L90 eight-speed ...
It has been shown that ACC systems designed to maintain a fixed following distance will not be string stable. [1] ACC systems designed to maintain a fixed following time may or may not be string stable. CACC addresses this problem, and in either case may improve stability, by reducing the delay of the response to the preceding vehicle.
The GM Instrument Cluster Settlement was a 2008 class action settlement awarded to owners of certain General Motors vehicles with allegedly defective speedometers.The settlement allows the owner or lessee to get their instrument cluster replaced under the terms of a special coverage adjustment to their factory standard warranty.

Of these, over 1.3 million were in the United States, and three of the models were also involved ...
This correction enables a larger maximum permissible air gap at the speed sensor. On a module m = 1 target wheel these new sensors can tolerate an air gap of 1.4 mm, which is wider than that for conventional speed sensors on module m = 2 target wheels. On a module m = 2 target wheel the new speed sensors can tolerate gap of as much as 2.2 mm.
