adaptive cruise control runaway problem

[Kimble]

For my Lariat Hybrid using adaptive cruise control, set at a certain speed, after slowing for a slower vehicle, once I or the other vehicle change lanes, the Lariat accellerates wildly beyond the set speed. Does anyone have this problem? How can I correct this?

The behavior is dependent on the gap you have set.

Going beyond the set speed would seem to be a dangerous defect!

If possible I'd recommend having a passenger film this happening and take it in to the dealer.

Yea it definitely shouldn’t do that. Once the set cruising speed is hit it should stabilize there. If it’s going beyond that id be making some calls.

Try turning off speed sign detection on your 2026 and see if it continues.

I second the recording of this phenomenon. It'll give you some backing at the dealership.
Don't forget to post it here too.

I have a 2026 Maverick Tremor, and I think I’ve noticed this too. I don’t think it’s a problem. When you change lanes with adaptive cruise control on, it seems to speed up a few mph automatically. I just brake, take over, and then reset it. "it's not a self driving car/truck" You have to watch it. Do your own lane changes. Proceed with acc when done.
