Hi all ,
Brand new 3.0 crd limited grand
When useing the Cruise Control i want to go faster i press the + and 9 times out of 10 it does what its supposed to

3 times now (its got 600 km on it ) the cruise just disconects and the cruise indicator goes out on the dash . if i turn it back on nothing happens . the indicator will not come back on

The only way to get ti to work is pull over and turn off . Start it back up and all is fine

Is it passionate fingers and im doing something wrong or do i have a fault and has anyyone experienced it
Thanks

Len I've not been here long, but I've read of this happening. Unfortunately I can't recall where it went.

To be honest, I originally joined just to get the pictures and be able to search directly. Have you given the search feature a nudge? You can also use Google to search the site if that works better for you... just add site:jeepgarage.org to the end of your Google search.

Cheers,
Steve

Issues with Cruise Control in the MY11-MY13's was generally associated with the brake pedal being activated. Commonly found to be a short in the wiring under the carpet due to the stretching of the cable from Lefthand drive to Righthand drive. Firstly check that wiring to ensure it has not come adrift. If you search these Aussie threads, you will find refererences to it

Yep that pretty much wipes out the brake wire causing it.

I thought I saw something on the US forum, but if you've searched I dunno what else to do but wait... or post in the main forum. If you get no bites here I'd hit them up over there.

Cheers,
Steve

I have experienced this a few times.

It is definetly related to increasing the speed, it seems more stable if you increase the the speed incrementaly (multiple presses of the + button) rather than holding down the + button until you get up to the desired speed, and like you said when it happens the Cruise Control goes awol until the engine is restarted ... it is quite annoying if it happens near the begining of your journey.

It occurred to me once in a MY12 Overland. I had used the cruise control often but once after a good 60 min trip the cruise control just switched off on it's own and refused to come back on. I did the complete shutdown routine and nothing. 20 mins later I retried and nothing. Got to my destination and when I got back in and set off it was fine. Never reoccurred again but I only had the car for a few thousand klms. As it was an Overland I had numerous messages in the EVIC display coming up relating to Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot monitoring failures or there unavailablity. Believe I may have posted this here on the forums at the time.

Well a call to the dealer and he booked it into the local dealer up the road

They had it for an hour

The error has gone off the dash and I haven't had the problem since

Very impressed wit arm strings in toowoomba and sunco on the sunny coast for some good old fashioned service .

Adjustment of brake pedal switch so it doesn't trigger while accelerating

Done it now to the trouble and strife four times in 3400 kms. I cannot seem to replicate it.

Once it decides that it does not want to play then it's a stop and start again.

Am now keeping a log of when it happens

Regards

Hi everyone , first post . I just thought I would let you know your not alone .
I picked up my Laredo on friday and have encountered the same cruise control problem twice in 500KM . It has only faulted when using the + or resume feature . I will let you guys know what the outcome when I finally get it back to the dealer .

Mine went back to the dealers...but they said they could not reproduce the problem, they did offer to go for a drive with me to observe it, unfortuanately I had no time to do this so it will have to wait until next time.


So when you go, I'd suggest you take them for a test drive to show them, or supplying video proof or giving them precise reprodcution steps.



However, they did apply the HVAC update (after I enlightened them about) and so far the climate control seems to be behaving itself now.

Mine is continuing to do this .. no rhyme or reason . I mentioned it at service and they could not replicate .
My local service manager is a goood guy and i intend to drive it there next time its doing it and put a scan tool on it

Not much more i can do .. i know its ANNOYING

Happened to me today when I was using cruise control & pressing the + button to increase the speed - I may have held the button down or pressed the + several times, can't remember, then the cruise control just turned off & I couldn't start it again - indicator on dash disappeared. I remembered what you said, pulled over on the freeway, turned the car off & restarted then all okay.

Have been to the dealer twice regarding this issue with no result. The second time I even brought the car straight back after I managed to fail the cruise control myself and they still had no fault codes show. This was checked with the engine still running and the cruise control obviously not working. The cruise control buttons were also replaced and this did nothing. Now waiting on a response from Jeep HQ on what to do next. Very frustrating. Has anyone out there had their's fixed with some sort of success yet?

Got the same problem... a few hundred K's and the cruise drops out..wont come back on.... there are too many of us!

Also the +/- speed control seems to not work well... hit n miss...sometimes it adjusts the speed sometimes not.... brake switch adjustment?

We need to complain to get Jeep motivated to find out the root cause and fix it!

Raising a case with Jeep.

Still happening ...I can pretty much make it happen...continue holding down the +set speed for a while...then the + button becomes unresponsive to subsequent presses and then finally the cruise disengages and the cruise light dissapears and cannot be re-enabled.

what a PITA!! :mad: seems like its only RHD GJC's.

Anyone had luck with their dealers or JEEP Aus? with fixing this cruise control issue ?


Im going to try and get it on video...difficult need someone behind you in the rear seat with the camera over the shoulder.

Here is a video of it occurring...evidence for Jeep that its not all in our heads...

Watch in fullscreen and keep your eye on the 'green' Cruise symbol

There is also another symptom...where once you set speed....another press and hold of the +speed button does nothing...no speed increase

Good work, I couldn't get mine to fail until I stopped filming, always the way! Let me know how you go as I've had mine in and out of the dealer for tests on the cruise and still nothing from Jeep as of yet.

Pleasant surprise this morning when I went for first major service

The service manage told me he had others complaining with the same cruise control issue . At least we are being recognised with a fault and they are at least looking into a fix

Far better than being told it's not happening because the computer says there is no issue

Took mine back to the dealer for unrelated issues (tow bar to be fitted etc) and they said they had new discs from Chrysler Jeep USA which fixes the - cruise control disengaging issue, possible ABS Failure and adds a few things like adjustment of your rear view mirror dimmer, I said go ahead, 2 days later I got the car back, evidently it is a complete flash and reprograming of the on-board computer, (6hrs) all is good now though cruise working faultlessly.
