Some Subaru Forester owners report experiencing issues with malfunctioning cruise control, often attributed to failed control modules, sensor, or switch problems. These issues can stem from throttle actuation problems, such as a faulty throttle position sensor, which may lead to overcompensation with fuel and result in black exhaust from the tailpipe. Additionally, a flashing cruise control light serves as a clear indicator of a problem that requires immediate attention. Owners are encouraged to conduct basic troubleshooting and seek professional assistance if needed to resolve these issues and restore the cruise control system's functionality. If problems persist, consulting a mechanic or Subaru dealership for a thorough diagnosis is advisable.
