Problem overview

Some BMW X1 owners report experiencing cruise control malfunction messages despite the system functioning properly. These issues may stem from failed or dirty sensors, such as speed sensors, which are crucial for the cruise control's operation. Additionally, some drivers have encountered intermittent failures and button lights going off, often resolved by replacing faulty wiring harnesses. In certain cases, a broken taillight has been found to cause the cruise control to shut down, indicating that owners should check their taillights for any issues. Furthermore, problems with the paddles on the steering wheel have also been linked to cruise control malfunctions. It is important for owners to address these potential causes and seek professional assistance from a local BMW dealership if the problem persists.
