2007 Forester Cruise control limits
OK, don't ask how, when (or why), but I had the opportunity to go in excess of 100 mph for a bit, and took it.
The problem is, the Cruise Control only works at a max of 94mph (150kph) or so. I couldn't get the CC to hold 100mph, not even downhill.
On the lower end, CC works down to around 25 mph, in second gear, at best. (It's fitful, sometimes.)
Does anyone know why?

With the race trailer about 110mph
With the Cig Boat + trailer about 90mph
Hee hee.

That the Cruise Control tops out at around 150kph tell me the design limitation may well be Japanese.
I'm going to drop the question on my favorite Subaru mechanic -- and, tolerate the "you must be nuts" look I will get.
:mad:
No, take it back to the dealer. My cruise control works as expected.
I have tried to sense "lock up" and I don't think you can feel it. It is not a gear shift. I can feel the transmission going in and out of 3rd at light throttle in response to hills, and can see the tachometer change rpms, but in 4th, I feel and see nothing if or when the lock up occurs.
Surging sounds engine related with nothing to do with the transmission. My 2008 cruise control works fine with no surging.
