Hi, Got a 9000CS 2.3t which has been having intermittent cruise control problems of late ... similar to that experienced by a few others here in the past where cruise doesn't work, but by switching the ignition of and on it starts to work ... more recently, it just hasn't worked at all !!! But yesterday I noticed that if I had my foot on the accelerator and tried setting the cruise, nothing happened ... but if I lifted my foot off the gas, and after a second or so tried the cruise, it worked !!!! This was fairly consistent and I thought I'd found a workaround ... UNTIL .... I was happily going along on cruise and hit a pothole in the road ... the right front suspension took the knock, and the cruise disengaged .... and I haven't been able to get it to work again even with my new super-duper-lift-the-foot-off-the-gas solution .... not sure what this all means ... but it's more for the cruise control problem information pool.
