If your tires are bigger then it may trigger the ESp and that will kill the cruise

Cruise control weirdness

The exact same thing just started happening with my car today. My cruise control worked perfect since I've had my car. Today I got a wheel resealed, which I assume would not change the geometry at all, and now I can't set the cruise control over ~70mph. What the heck could be causing this?!?

Bigger than stock (overall rolling diameter).

Cruise control dropping out above 65mph. MB can't figure it out..

I have stock diameter wheels.

18" with 245 40 up front and 285 30 in rear

car is lowered via star for last 2 years. Just started about 2 months ago.

i have not changed anything in about a year on my car period.



They have been trying to diagnose it and going on 3 days on this last issue.

They are claiming to have to charge me the rate if they cannot find the problem for warranty to repair.



There is no per say cruise control module to replace. It is all controlled through sensors, ecm, etc.

My questions:

Has anyone had this problem since this question was raised last?

Can anyone offer any specific advice in correcting this issue?


Thank you anyone that can help as I need my cruise control to work above 65, 90% of my driving is above this speed

Indy shop or dealer? Either way I'd tell them to go **** themselves. It's their job to fix it.

Dealer and did say **ck you.

I told them that if they cannot figure it out, then I will pick up the car tomorrow morning and they can eat the hours since they are just now calling me with it after 3 days.
I will then call MB and let them direct me to a local MB service provider that knows how to fix MB issues
