I was driving back home from Las Vegas, and I always use the cruise control on my hoe, just to keep me out of trouble. half way home, all of a sudden my speed started to go down, my cruise control had turned off, and i couldn't set it again. i turned it off then on, and nothing. After a while it started to work again. It happens on and off once in a while, anybody had this issue?

Never. Check your brake light switch.

Make sure nothing on your brake wiring somehow came loose. Your lights need to have a current for the cruise to work. And what Roger said

Thanks, I'll check it out tomorrow, the thing that ticks me off is that it works, and all of a sudden it turns off, it doesn't happen all the time, but it does. For some reason, when I need it.

does it happen when you go over a bump or anything like that? are you accidentally touching the brake?

that's the thing, it just turns off. The first time it happened, I was coming from vegas and i put it on cruise, it did good for 150 miles, and all of a sudden it turned off. And didn't turn on till i was close to the house. I didn't touch the breaks at all, and since it has happen a couple of times after that, i can tell you is no bump that makes it turn off. I don't know.

I guess you were right about the brake light switch, it happen again today, but this time i tapped the brakes, hit the switch again, cruise control turned on. I also need to replace my brakes, would that make the brake pedal, go down a little bit, making this happen. I guess it could be a possibility. Thanks

What do you mean by heated steering, I don't understand your question. Do you mean that your denali didn't come with cruise control, or that the cruise control just doesn't work?
