General observation, example, and questions on cruise control (2022 Ram 1500):
Observation: When vehicle is traveling slower than cruise control is set, when cruise control is resumed, the vehicle will stomp on the accelerator and try to speed up to achieve the set cruise control speed as fast as it can. This is annoying and probably uses more fuel than necessary, especially since I left the house early and am in no rush (haha, yeah right).
Example: Cruise is set at 65 mph and vehicle is traveling at 65 mph. Traffic causes me or the vehicle to slow down below 65 mph, say to 45 mph. When I hit "resume" or the vehicle in front of me is no longer in front of me, the vehicle will go bat out of hell to get back to 65 mph like its life depended on it.
Question 1: Are Ram engineers out of their minds?
Question 2: Is there a setting somewhere for "resume by gradually increasing speed back to set cruise control speed?"
