Cruise Control Problem
Went on a NE cruise today. Stopped at a outlet center and spent too much money. While sitting at a traffic light I put the car in park, put the roof up and then put the car back in drive. When the light turned green I pushed the accelerator and the car seemed to bog like if was stuck in a high gear. I took my foot off the accelerator and then pushed gently again and the car dropped into a lower gear and proceeded. The shifting seemed normal and I used the paddles w/o a problem.
Got onto the highway, pushed the car a bit. All seemed fine. I accelerated to about 65, and put on cruise. No go, would not work. Seems the cruise control is out. Everything else seems to be working.
Anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know if the cruise is tied the to transmission computer? Any input would help.

Seems like Chevy is using old Microsoft software to the cruise control. Reboot and it works.
Checks out FAQ's for other opinions of the subject.Good luck.

If disconnecting the battery doesn't work, it may be the brake that's keeping it from engaging. There's a another thread somewhere about it.
Mine was the BCM - had to be replaced by the dealer under warranty - 06 A6.

Simple fix -- engine running, put your car in park, pull up on the the e-brake briskly, then release. Don't know why it works, but it does.
