Poll: Experienced cruise control problems?

[stevedee3]

Hi all,

There seem to be a never ending supply of posts from poeple who've had problems with their cruise control, so let's pose the question and see if I'm observing a real pattern...

No probs on my elite but the "Vectaru" did throw a few wobblies when i first got it but seemed to cure it self and has been fine for over 12 months now !!!!

i have CC problems at the moment, it doesnt work so need a trip back to VX to be fixed

[In a states]

Have you tried pressing the brake when it doesn't engage?

If you stop, say on a motorway trip, and then rejoin the motorway before braking (joining after a fill up) the cruise will not come on...it's a safety thing...just trap the rear brake and try and set it again...it should work then ok as normal.

Happens with mine all the time.

Treid this a few days ago after i read it on here and it never worked the CC and the TC have both not worked since i have had the car back from VX with all the alarm hassles makes me wonder if its all been disconnected in some way

I have had the same sort of problem, its fixed by either pressing the foot brake or lifting the h/brake slightly until waring noise and the release with force. all well after that.

must be sticky switch somewhere ?

As per the handbook:
"For safety reasons the cruise control cannot be activated until the footbrake has been depressed once"

You don't want to engage cruise control and then find out that you've no brakes .

Ahh I see...

I had a problem with my cruise control, worked intermittently, sometimes wouldn't switch on, sometimes wouldn't switch off using the controls on the stalk. If this is the problem you are having then the switch in the stalk is faulty. The stalk can be pulled out and replaced easily, you just need the two letter code from the underside of the stalk which identifies your model, take this into vx and order a new one for approx £30.
