Cruise control- 1995.5 Rodeo

At freeway speeds, my cruise control seems jerky. It doesn't seem to be able to hold a constant speed. The car slows down about 3 - 5 miles per hour then jams the throttle on to make up for the lost speed. It is not smooth at all. Maybe the problem is as simple as a cable needing lubrication, I don't know.

Is the cruise control on your car smooth or is it an inherent problem with the Rodeo?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mine does this sometimes too. I hardly ever use the CC so I havn't been hot to trot to fix it. So, if anyone knows what the deal is, it would be nice to fix it.

Bump-de-bump.

No one has cruise control?

See my post Electrical Mayhem II...no solutions to your problem though.

My cruise works with the headlights off. I can be running down the highway with cruise and as soon as I turn the headlights on....the cruise drops out.

This is on top of other problems like failure of of intermittant wipers and a beeping brake pedal.

I hope my Maintenance CD arrives soon.

My 90 Isuzu pickup was the most trouble free, reliable vehicle I ever owned. That's why I bought a Rodeo. I have had absolutely no problems with it for 4 years and now it looks as though everything hit at once.
