Anybody has an issue with the cruise control button not functioning?

I could not stop my CC until I hit the button a few times.

I know I could have used the brakes pedal, I just missed my exit and took the next one cuz I was mesmerized about it since the button was not turning it off.

That never happened to me but there was a time where I couldn't turn it on. Only happened once. Kept on hitting the on/off button but it wouldn't turn on. I backed out of the speedo screen, waited a minute then went back in and it worked.

Just the once so far, after getting it to disengage it took a few more clicks for it to fully respond and work on/off

Mine did the same thing all the time. I took it in and they flashed it. It's worked perfectly since

my cruise has been refusing to turn on occasionally. until yesterday and now it will not come on at all, only 2000 miles, guess I'll be visiting the dealer next week.

I've had to use the tip on pressing the cruise control on/off button and at same time press & release set button to get my cruise control working. Sometimes takes a couple of tries.

Just tried that and it worked for me! thanks. we'll see how it goes now.

My '17 has had the not turning on issue on and off for a while. But last week when it finally turned on and was set, I couldn't cancel it or turn it off only hitting the breaks did it turn off. Goes back to the dealer next week. It's now become a BIG safety issue for me. We'll see what the dealer finds

My cruise control would only turn on sporadically, they flashed, no help. They replaced the steering wheel buttons and worked flawlessly since.
