Cruise control broken on every vehicle I drive?

[PF52]

My oldest car is 36 currently and the CC works just fine. But I am sure there are plenty of older cars out there too where it works also.

I use cruise control at every opportunity, get to 8 over and set the cruise. no matter the scenario. I want to go as fast as I can without getting a ticket and stay there. its obvious to me most people don't use their cruise. because anytime I start to pass them, they speed up. I know its not me because my cruise has been set for miles before that.

My cruise in the Gen Coupe will turn on but not set sometimes. I have to give the brakes a quick jab as part of the switch is stuck.

Oddly (maybe not), we had two GM M-Body vans that had cruise control issues since new. No resolution with either. My understanding is that cruise control issues like these were common with pickups too.

Cruise control works sometimes, sometimes not

The cruise control in my '04 Corolla has started not working occasionally. When it's not working, I will set it at a certain speed, it holds the speed for a few seconds, then the car slows down. Whether it works or not seems to be tied in with the ignition somehow, as when it's not working, the...

Only cruise control issues I've had were a vehicle not being equipped with it
Or a 2011 Avalon that wouldn't resume/reengage because of a faulty stop lamp switch and a missing fuse
Was a head scratcher for sure

Never had a problem in any car which had cruise.
Nice to have on the open interstate and I use it there all the time.

Not really. I'd imagine it kicks off anytime you hit the brake pedal or clutch

Ya'd think that...

Had a 2011 Camry with a stick (shocker I know). One day I set cruise then kicked the clutch and shifted to neutral. Engine started rev'ing up once I lost some speed. So not ALL cars have a neutral switch to kick out cruise. Maybe most or at least some, and of course, stickshift is a thing of the past now it seems, so not much of an issue.

Don't recall on my VW. On that, I want to say it would kick out if I hit the clutch, but it's been a long time since I owned it.

Never had a an issue in 30 yrs. Recently got a VW Passat with Adaptive Cruise and it works great. I am not a big tech person but I like the Adaptive Crusie
