“While driving the car with the cruise control being set, the setting gets cancelled automatically while the vehicle is in motion and the vehicle slows down immediately. This has happened to my vehicle more 20-30 times now in the past less than one year. I reset the cruise speed again and it again cancels the set speed.”

When it shows back up most of the time it will have crazy letters and start flashing. The icon with the key has recently popped up on my dash which stands for something being wrong with the system.”
