VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
04/12/2012
	The battery gauge will drop or fluctuate. it does not occur immediately, but after driving for a couple minutes. once the battery gauge drops many things are affected. the car hesitates to increase speed, braking is affected, cruise control is affected. the cruise control will turn on unexpectedly at times. when needing to accelerate it hesitates and once it goes the engine puts out more than is needed or expected. braking is slow and pulsates slightly as the transmission is downshifting. the battery and alternator have been checked and appear to be in working order and nothing wrong with either of them.

	Was driving on a local street a little over 20mph, getting ready to get on highway, when my 2009 tahoe abruptly, forcibly, and instantly dangerously dropped down to almost 10mph. the car behind me had to abruptly stop to avoid colliding with my truck. tried to increase speed to over 10mph and truck kept forcibly jerking. i was able to avoid a a few collisions by turning on my hazard lights and waving out my hand to traffic. definitely did not get on the highway because my truck would not increase speed and continuously, forcibly, and abruptly jerked all the way down to the dealer (approximately 9 miles, 20 minutes driving).
