    We've got that on some trucks at SNI, they've told us countless times that if it does something like that then it needs to be recalibrated.

    Personally, I like them, but that may be because I haven't had a bad experience with one yet. My truck doesn't have one, but I've driven with that system before and it's handy when you're using cruise.

    I've heard a 3lb sledge works very good for "recalibrating" them

    The pre-2014 versions (roundish with tiny green screen) need to be manually calibrated.

    The post-2014 (large rectanglular blue screen with dedicated night mode color inverse button) is auto calibrating at highway speeds.
