Bought a Sonata Limited with 5500 miles on it from local dealership. Soon after I noticed that the cruise did not always engage. Problem is that when I brought it in for service, no one was able to duplicate the problem. Anyone else having this problem or have any ideas about what to do? Thanks. ---

Read your owners manual for starters. Some CC’s will not engage below a certain speed. There are a myriad of things that can cause a CC malfunction but the best best is to read your owners manual and get acquainted with the CC system on your Hyundai. ---

I have a 2011 Sonata and sometimes I have a problem where the CC will engage, but pressing the accelerate or coast buttons on the steering wheel can cause the CC to disengage. If it happens, it is when I first get on the highway, but it usually goes away after using the CC for a little while. To me it seems like there is a loose connection or a wire is crossed, but I have not had it looked at so I don’t know. ---

Alvin I had the same problem with my 2011 Sonata. Finally got the dealer to change the cruise control switch on the steering wheel. Solved the problem. However, after a year the problem is back. I use the cruise control a lot and it seems that I am wearing out the switch. I think they need a more reliable switch in the unit. I now have to bring the car in again and convince them to change it again. I am so frustrated with Hyundai due to other problems that I am thinking about the Lemon Law. ---

My problem is with our 2012 hyundai sonata and the cruise control - when it is engaged and going up a grade it loses power and when it gets to going very slow I try to reengage it and it does not work so I press on the gas pedal and nothing happens for a few seconds and then it surges ahead and then finally picks up speed. Have been to the service department twice and nothing can be done. Anybody having this problem?
