Default Cruise Control quits

Any thoughts on what would make cruise control quit while just cruising down the highway? Problem has gotten worse over the last couple of months to the point where sometimes I can't even set the cruise to start with. No apparent pattern to this and within any random amount of time it may/may not work again.

Does your check engine light come on? does you ABS light come on? Does your message area say "brake failure stop ASAP?

if so i'l guess it's your ABS module--same thing happened to me. I had the ABS fixed and all was well.

I had all the typical abs symptoms last fall and replaced the abs module - all was apparently fixed and no codes or anything showing up now.

You most likley have a vacuum leak in the line somewhere. Find the control unit and replace all the vacuum tubing. As the hole go bigger the problem got worse.
