Did both of you get your problem resolved satisfactorily??? I was driving down I95 with my new Sequoia Platinum. The dash board gave me the "Cruise System alert" message and icon. Since then it has not worked... As one of you mentions, it works in the morning but when i try to engage the cruise control it gives me the same message again. I have been given the same explanation that but of you had. They calibrated and did not work. They are waiting a call from Toyota for the fix....
What is interesting is that when the system crash occurred, the Bluetooth quit working temporarily. It erased all my contacts and speed dials. I corrected it and has not happened again.
 
Expecting your prompt answer

Yes. Dealership replaced entire cruise radar (front bumper). Works fine now. Took 7 weeks for part to arrive.

#16 of 17 Bypass Radar Cruise by bubbed

May 14, 2011 (5:01 pm)

I have a 2 week old Sequoia whose radar cruise quit working last night with no warning. The service department today says it looks like a rock hit the radar sensor in the bumper and they are unable to align it. I swear I can see the tiniest spot but can't see how that could cause the system to fail. Anyway, is there any way to default to NORMAL when I activate the cruise control. I am only able to turn on the unit and switch to NORMAL just after starting the engine and still stopped. If I am driving at all, the unit automatically switches on to RADAR and gives the error light and CHECK CRUISE SYSTEM. Needless to say, I am frustrated. Since "it was caused by a rock", Toyota won't warranty it and they estimate a couple of grand to fix it. HELP!! If I could just ditch the radar crap I would be happy with normal cruise control.

No. No bypass is available. I think it is an excuse. The radar controlled cruise is glitchy and they are not admitting it. Under warranty so have them replace the unit. Had mine 3 months ago. Works fine now.
