First issue/question - So I just drove round trip from Atlanta to Savannah (2022, XLT, MAX), about 350 miles each way - 20-21 MPG. I had cruise control on most of the time. If I approached a car in front of me, going slower than my cruise control setting, my speed would drop to match the car in front until they moved over a lane, and then my speed would pick up to the setting. I never had to reduce speed, the car seemed to do it by itself. Is this normal? I'm not complaining, but I've never experienced this kind of performance from cruise control before.
Second issue/question - While driving under cruise control, the lane warning would "shake" the steering wheel just like normal if I strayed in my lane a little bit. BUT, the steering wheel seemed to want to turn to stay in lane. But the car wouldn't actually adjust. I felt pressure against my hands that the car want to move the steering wheel, (I kept getting a 'warning to keep my hands on the steering wheel' - they were) but I resisted and felt resistance, as if the car wanted to slightly change. I even had to slightly forcibly move the steering wheel against pressure from the car. Is this performance normal? This is my 3rd (2017, 2020) Expedition (I love the cars) and have never experienced this if cruise control was activated with either of my previous Expeditions.
