Replying to: e2helper (Nov 22, 2006 5:30 am) It was probably me!!! You name it, my cruise control has done it. It is easily the worst such system I've had in any car I've owned. Last winter was an absolute nightmare, with the thing quitting unexpectedly while driving on long trips, or failing to engage at all, or refusing to accelerate or decelerate in response to the steering wheel switches. Things have improved considerably since my dealer finally replaced the BCM. Every once in a while, though, pressing the + or - switch will cause the system to disengage. But this is now extremely rare. Most of the time it works OK although my big complaint, the reluctance to disengage when applying the brakes, continues. Follow e2helper's advice, and good luck!

| My cruise control worked intermittently. Would not work for 2 weeks, then it would work for 2-3. Then same cycle over. Other problem is that steering clunk thing. Column and steering gear replaced 3 times. BUT, I am happy to announce I am now rid of that car after 56,000 miles. An SUV did me a favor and drove into the front and totalled it. From the top of the bumper it sheared and buckled the entire front end. This was about a 15 mile an hour thing. 2 scratches on her SUV. Mine destroyed. I got enough money out of their insurance to almost pay for a new 08 Saturn Aura. Which I bought and love very much. Only one problem, the evaporator is leaking, but they are replacing it. | |
| My '05 CC is being fixed, same type of symptoms, work for 2 weeks then quit for a week ect. Finally it totally died, the dealer replaced the BCM but it still didn't work so they are going to replace the set/resume switch next week (had to order it). Code set was PO575. Sadly, I have had a lot of electrical issues, dash lights went out, CD player broke, door locks broken. car goes out of Warr. in Nov. Need to make a decision as to sell it, shame cause it gets amazing gas mileage for a 200HP V6.. | |
