The wierdest thing happened yesterday. I was cruising along on the
highway on cruise control. I got to some construction work which reduced
the highway down to one lane in each direction. So I get stuck behind
some slower drivers and there's no other choice but to match their speed
-- no problem, I use the accelerate and decelerate feature on the cruise
throughout the whole length of the construction zone, and I match the
speed of the car in front me. Then the construction zone ends, great,
now I can get back up to my normal speed, so I start accelerating with
my foot, and then when I get to my regular cruise speed, I set the
cruise control again, and lift my foot off. The car starts slowing down.
I put my foot back on the gas peddle again, and look at the cruise
control toggle light, it's off -- I click it to turn it on again, and it
doesn't turn on, tried for several times and it never came on. Later on,
my CD player starts acting funny too, the song starts skipping, change
the song, and even that song is skipping. About 50 miles later, I get
off the road and into a roadside restaurant, and turn off the car. Go
get a coffee, come back, and turn it on, cruise control is back, CD is
fine again, etc.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Other times,
for example, I've noticed that perhaps a turn signal is no longer
working on one corner of the car. Again I turn it off, and turn it on
again, and the previously dead turn light is working again.
It's a 2000 OBW, has anyone else seen these sorts of things happen to
their car too?
