I just tried to engage my cruise control and got this message. I was going 60mph. Anyone else had this message?

Do you turn off the esp?

johnlk25

No, I didnt turn off the ESP. I used the cruise earlier today and it worked, but now it doesnt.

I had this message twice when I started the car. I thought I might just touch the cruise control incautionly.

johnlk25

Well, I guess nevermind. I went back out and the cruise control worked fine. I dont know what was wrong, but it works now. Strange.

You need to be driving over 20mph before you can engage cc in mine and you cant set it under 20 either
Hope this helps

I had that intermittantly months ago, the dealer said it was the steering column control unit, $300 USD to fix . I said no and it works fine now, so give it some time.

Yea I had it. It went away within the week. I tried it about 3 days after and it worked.

Ok, well this morning I go to start my car and it did not start and I got the message in my display about the ESP. When I turned the key to start, all the lights lit up on the dash as normal, but the car did not start.

I took the key out and put it back in 5 times before it finally started. I thought I was going to have to call MB Roadside Assistance.

Now yesterday I got the cruise control inoperative message and it went away later in the day.

I'm beginning to think that something really is wrong now.

If this keeps happening, it is time for a visit to the dealership. An inspection is necessary now IMO.

Well, I took it to the dealer for B service last week and told them about the cruise control not working and the ESP problem and the steering column module had to be replaced. Apparently a code had been stored when the error messages appeared, so they were able to determine what the problem was. It was repaired under warranty.

Thanks for letting us know the outcome.

Of course it's warranty.

Just last week my car did the same after a start. So, I shut down, pulled the key out and restarted and the warning was gone. Later that day the check engine light came on and stayed on during multiple starts and when the light was on, the idle was not as smooth. Next day, it was off and all was normal.

So, it goes in tomorrow afternoon to pull the codes and see what's what. I'll also ask them to quiet down my noisy (when tilting) sunroof after all this time.

This too shall pass.

On the road right now with my 2-month old son, and this just happened to me. I have another 700 miles to go. Is this serious?
