    Cruise control

    My 04/10 T5 cruise control cuts out when I hit a rough bit of road, like a culvert repair. Has anyone else come across this problem?

    A few years ago mine was cutting out whenever I turned the blinkers on, so if I was going along a two lane highway and I wanted to change lanes to go by another car, the cruise control would turn off. Turned out to be an intermittently broken wire in the blinker stalk, nothing that a new $500 blinker stalk couldn't fix.

    Yours will be probably be something different, possibly an intermittent brake light switch or some other trivial thing.

    Also, along this line, does the glow plug light in the dash, come on when on a rough road?

    Glow plug light? Yeah I think it does come on at the same time

    Cruise control should shut off if any of the traction / stability controls activate. Could be that the rough road sees a loss of traction even for a split second.

    Also, I think it is normal (but annoying) for the Cruise control to shut off when using indicator to change lane, at that has been the case for my 08 Multivan from new.

    And to add if it is not normal for the cruise to cancel with the blinkers on, I am not going to worry too much as I hardly use the cruise control.
