Mine works fine, but I have the 2.4 liter with the 9-speed autmatic transmission. Hopefully someone can help you with your issue.
I don't really have any issues with mine (automatic), other than maybe every fifth time, it won't be able to match speed. Like I'll set it to 65 MPH and it will be either one or two MPH under that & never "catch up" to 65...it will be content to cruise along at 63 or whatever. My highway driving is fairly flat & consists of about 40 miles of my daily work commute. No issues other than that, simply have noticed that sometimes it's 1-2 mph lower than I set it to from time to time.Hey, I remember reading somewhere on this forum someone complaining about the cruise control, that the vehicle couldn't maintain the set speed. Well it's all about the tires and the traction you have. I had the same issue with the all season tires. If I set cruise control to 50..the vehicle would mostly do 49. Well now that I have winter tires in colder conditions, unless I'm going up a hill or have high winds, the vehicles maintains the desired speed nicely. So in short, if you live in a warmer climate consider summer tires for the best traction, all season tires are somewhat of a compromise between winter and summer...and this pertains to all vehicles.![]()
Thanks for this, this works. On those occasions when the CC will not set, letting off the gas and pressing Set will do the trick, so I don't have to clutch in. But other times I can successfully set the cruise under throttle. And on those same occasions when the cruise will not set, quickly blipping the clutch will also work, and allow the cruise to set under throttle. Weird.Take your foot off the gas pedal and then push the "set speed" button. The pedal is "drive by wire". And for simplicity, cruise is the same. You are trying to send two signals at the same time: the pedal will always win.
Hi h4rdw1r3d,My 2017 Altitude (4x4 9-speed auto) is doing this and the dealer conveniently can't recreate the issue. Has nothing to do with how much or how little gas I'm giving it. When the issue occurs, I get off the road, shut down, restart, and it magically goes away until it happens again.
I have 500 miles on my 2017 Renegade Altitude 1.4L 6MT and experienced the same problem. I believe there may be something to the clutch switch explanation. The cruise comes on but the set does not work. This happened after I cancelled the cruise, and it has not worked since, even after shifting and operating the clutch.My 2017 Altitude (4x4 9-speed auto) is doing this and the dealer conveniently can't recreate the issue.
