    AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Alignment woes!

    Your dealer is full of ****.. But never the less can refuse to service it if related to non factory parts. No single thing you add can void the entire warranty. Adding aftermarket parts does not void the warranty. Warranty claims can be denied if the aftermarket part can be proven to have...

    Same thing with mine.. Flat and up hills.. It is rock steady.. Down hill, it will speed up... But what can you ask of it,, except to close the throttle.. After that it's up to gravity, and or applying the brakes.. Which as far as I know,, the cruise control can not control.
