To: myknowledge

Unfortunately, I believe the on board computer only stores the last five or so minutes of data. That could tell what was really happening if the data were retrieved in time. I suspect inadvertent activation of, or the driver forgetting they turned on, the cruise control in most of these cases. This problem is software related, either caused by a bug or operator error.

In our car, a 2003 Lincoln, pushing resume when you are below 35 MPH does nothing.

They must have it locked out in the computer.

“the driver forgetting they turned on, the cruise control”

Now,,, I never use cruise control because I find it annoying, but,, I thought all you had to do to disengage it was to tap on the brakes???? So, the CC would have to turn itself on, while at the same time refuse to turn off when the brakes are applied, right?
