The feature that's the least reliable is the cruise control it randomly ramps up to wide open and doesn't slow down unless you power it off,this is a well known problem if you search the net,Motorguide doesn't seem to have a fix for it. I still use the cruise a lot I've just got handy at shutting it off and running though the start up sequence again.
