A 2018 Haval H6 Experienced A Supposed Cruise Control Failure In China And Driver Spent Hours Driving On The Road Against His Will
The Chinese driver was traveling peacefully in his car when the cruise control on the 2018 Haval H6 locked up. According to the website AutoHome, the man identified as Mr. Luo stated that the brakes also failed, preventing him from stopping the car. Thus, Mr. Luo was forced to drive for 500 km without stopping, at a speed exceeding 100 km/h.
Chinese Driver’s Account Of The Incident With The Haval H6 SUV
According to Mr. Luo, he was driving his SUV from the city of Changsha in Hunan province to Yichun in Jiangxi, which would cover a distance of less than 200 km.
In the middle of the journey, he realized that he could not decrease the speed set on the cruise control, even if he pressed the brake. When he became aware of the situation he was experiencing, the driver panicked and started to cry.

How much does it cost to keep the POLO Comfortline TSI 200 in the garage?
Luo tried to calm himself in the moment of despair and called the local highway police. After managing to make the call, the police mobilized several vehicles to escort the out-of-control vehicle, ensuring that no one was hurt on the highway. Additionally, the authorities contacted Haval engineers in an attempt to resolve the situation, but nothing could be done from afar to help the driver.
In the end, the Chinese man completed 500 km driving the car after the cruise control failure, after which the fuel tank ran dry. Fortunately, the police mobilization was enough to ensure that no one was injured. The only one affected by the problem was Mr. Luo, who was in a panic and lost hours of his day on the road, used all of his fuel on the trip, and needed to refuel to return.
What Happened To The Haval H6 After Its Cruise Control Failure?
The Haval H6 was sent back to Haval for examination. The company’s engineers will investigate what caused the cruise control to lock up and the failure of the SUV’s brakes. However, according to the automaker, “preliminary investigations indicate that the brake system of the first-generation H6 has a mechanical function that overrides any electronic resource, allowing for braking whenever the brake pedal is pressed by the driver.”
