Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Cruise Control Light Came On And Wouldn't Turn Off

I was driving today and my cruise control light came on and wouldn't turn off. i vagcom'd the car and a code came up which was:

Cruise control switch (E45): Implausable signal
P1569 - 35 - 10 ---- Intermittent

I tried clearing it but it would but the light remains on. I noticed that when i hit the RES button on the stalk, the light goes away and when that when I scanned the car and held the RES button the code would come back. My cruise control also stopped working.

Volkswagen - Cabrio :: 2002 - Cruise Control System Disconnecting Randomly

my 02 VW Cabrio has the nasty habit of the cruise control disconnecting at random. A tech supposedly diagnosed a faulty Cruise Control Module. Now the diagnostic is the vacuum pump. He did a throttle body alignment, the steering column switches check out, brake light circuit checks out, vacuum hoses all good, electrical connectors all tight and sealed with goop... so what could the problem be? It seems to work when cold and at lower speeds, but after warming up and doing freeway speeds, it's dead in the water and won't reset...

Passat - Volkswagen :: 2006 - Decelerating At Rapid Pace When Gas Pedal Pressed - Cruise Control Act Intermittently?

I have a 2006 volkswagen passat 3.6 litre v6- have had this car about a year now, 60,000 miles, no problems until recently. Last week I started noticing that when I am driving, with my foot on the gas, it would intermittently act as if it was decelerating at a rapid pace( will drop gears, is NOT a coast)- even when I floored it!! As soon as it stops responding to the throttle I can floor it, nothing will happen, then let the gas peddle go- then reapply gas and it will act perfectly normal- no flooding, no nothing!! I have been able to keep it floored( while it is decelerating) for about 30 seconds, and it seems to make no difference.

The only other problem that I have recently noticed was that my cruise control was acting only intermittently as well. Oh, also while all this is happening it isn't throwing any check engine, or error lights. I have taken it to the dealer, and also to another specialty mechanic( with master certified technicians) and neither seem to find any problem with the vehicle, the only code that they said was found was one to the mass air flow??, but they weren't sure that was actually the problem, as, of course, they cannot seem to replicate my problem, even though it is now happening quite a lot. I am worried about driving my car now as it is quite a hazard when it decelerates rapidly, and to top it all off, we were supposed to leave for a 2,000 mile road trip in 10 days.

Subaru - Outback :: 2010 - Brake Warning / Traction Control / Cruise Control / Check Engine Light Came On?

My 2010 Subaru Outback recently surprised the hell out of me by simultaneously turning on the brake warning light, the traction control light, the check engine light and (just for a bonus!) disabled my cruise control while flashing the cruise control light. I pulled over, quickly surmising that all of those systems could not have failed at 70 MPH without instantaneous death to either me or the vehicle. Both apparently still being alive, I tried turning the car on an off to reset the lights. No go. Subaru was not going to miss this chance to get me to the dealership! (who I had avoided to this point!) As I was far away from home and the car being very healthy, it seemed, I decided to drive on. I proceeded to put a couple of hundred more miles on the car before I got back to town.

My car had 39,000 miles on it, 3,000 miles beyond the warranty end. I learned that I have an error code of P0171, "Fuel Trim Malfunction (Air/Fuel too lean)". So I guess I'm wondering about a few things...why would this sensor set off every light on my dashboard and disable my cruise control? Seems a bit overblown for running a bit lean. My gut tells me Subaru has a sensor/software problem they are not owning up to. I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories and this really smells like one...

Second, jeez, I'm only 3K miles over warranty, don't you think they'd cut me some slack. I mean I love my Subaru, or did anyway, until this happened. Now it's just another POS car that breaks for no apparent reason...

Prius (Gen 3) :: Cruise Control Lost While Taking A Turn

I have only a week ago returned from a 4300 mile odyssey with no problems, but yesterday while taking a turn in the country, my cruise control vanished! This is a Gen III, model IV, STANDARD cruise, and out of warranty, 43K. Stopped briefly to go into a shop and when I came out and started the car again......no cruise! No it wasn't in "B", all of us have had that happen to us at some point if we use B at all. It continues to be "non-functioning", and w/o any green pilot light on the dash display, or despite that no engagement,....I tried.

I figured it must have blown a fuse. The owners manual is quite good regards both the under hood and the under dash fuse boxes, telling you what each one is for, etc., but I can find none of these fuses with a code that I am even remotely confident is for the CC. Where is the fuse for the cruise control? Is it in another remote area? What is the "code" for it? Or if it is in one of these fuse panels, what # is it?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Cruise Control Would Not Set

Ok, today on my way to work, I got up to speed and turned on the cruise control. It worked fine. I then stopped on my way to work to get a bottle of water. I got up to speed and went to hit Set. Nothing would happen. I ended up getting off at the next exit and turn off the car completely. Restarted the car and got back on the interstate. Got up to speed, turned on the cruise and hit Set. It worked. On my way home, no problems. It was just strange.

Silverado :: 2008 - Cruise Control Not Activating When Pressed The Button To Turn It On

Yesterday I was driving my truck and went to activate the cruise so I pressed the button to turn it on and hit set but nothing happened. The on light was lit but the cruise indicator didn't light up in the speedo. I got to where I was headed, shut the truck off and on my way home tried this again to have the the cruise work normally. Cruise acting up and not work on occasion? I've never had the cruise control act up before so is there something I can check out? Bad connection or something?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Multifunction Steering Wheel / Ripped Cruise Control Buttons

During the tedious removal of the airbag from my mk4 multifunction steering wheel, I managed to rip the cruise control buttons wires out of their harness. I am honestly bewildered by the descriptions I've found online, and just want a photo of which colored wires should go in which holes XD.

Prius (2010-12) Fuel :: Using Cruise Control For Better Mpg?

If i am driving say for 15 mins on the highway at 65-75 mpg with a few brakes and accelerations in between due to other cars around, is it better to use the cruise control (i have adaptive cruise control on my prius v) and let the car figure out the throttle and braking or is it better to just drive by myself without using cruise control? i read about the different pulse-glide driving methods.

Touareg :: 2010 - Cruise Control Would Not Engage

I searched here, but could not find anything. My cruise control would not engage this morning. Worked fine yesterday on the way home. Of course the car just passed 30K Miles (now at 30,800) and will be out of warranty. I looked in the owners manual and could not find the number for the fuse and if it is in the right or left panel on the dash.

I will also check tonight when driving home if I can shift into gear w/o pushing the brake and if the green "push break pedal" indicator comes on or not when I try to shift into gear w/o pushing the break pedal. I read on this forum that this could indicate a fault in one of the switches at the brake pedal.

BTW, it's a 2010 Touareg with the 3.6L V6 and 30,800 Miles on it. So, what fuse to check??

Taurus :: 2010 - Cruise Control Quits?

when I am driving on the freeway and pass a car the cruise control quits and shuts off as I veer back into the right lane. That seems to be the only time the cruise control shuts off. I just bought the Taurus and it is a 2010. Why that happens?

Jetta - Volkswagen :: 2001 - Vibration At About 60 Mph When Turn The Steering Wheel To Right

My 2001 Jetta 2.0L steering wheel vibrates at about 60+ mph and when I turn the steering wheel to the right into a turn, the vibration intensifies. I've changed and rotated my tires, but to no avail, the problem persists. I have yet to take this problem to a mechanic until I've found out what the issue actually is, as I do not want to get jerked around. I've looked around on various VW blogs, and from what I can gather, the CV joint needs to be replaced/repaired.

Volkswagen - Jetta :: Steering Pulls In The Direction Of A Turn While Turning

I have a 2003 volkswagen jetta and the steering pulls in the direction of a turn while making a turn on both the right and left sides. In April of this year the rack and pinion was replaced and an alignment was done. However, the steering still pulled in the direction of a turn. In addition, the drivers side tire completely wore out within 6-8 weeks of having the steering fixed while the other tires remained intact. We were told we had a loose tie-rod on the drivers side - could this cause the quick wear on the tire and cause the pull in the steering? Also there has been a clinking (metal to metal) sound on the drivers side that occurs whenever we hit potholes or drive over uneven surfaces, could that also be the tie rod?
