Problem overview

Some Toyota Highlander owners report experiencing intermittent issues with their cruise control, often attributed to failed control modules, sensor problems, or switch malfunctions. Additionally, a worn clock spring wire in the steering column hub is a common issue that can affect the cruise control functionality. Owners may also find that if the brake pedal switch remains engaged or fails, it can cause the cruise control system to turn off intermittently. Other potential causes include blown fuses, faulty switches, or speed sensor issues, as well as more complex problems involving the control module or ECM. To resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to have a mechanic inspect and diagnose the specific cause of the malfunction to ensure proper repairs are made.
