It's been just 2 weeks since bought my Volt.
in this morning, it started to refuse cruise control.
I don't know why, or what's the problem.
It just deactivated and make beep sounds.
I tried several times during on my way to work but it does not work any more.
WHAT THE ****!!! it's been just 2 weeks.!!

and the other problem is dealer shop is too far away from my home.
There is another dealer shop in near my home, anyone know that I can use that dealer shop?

Toyota ( my first vehicle ) was available about that situation.

Thanks guys.

I tried fully off ACC already. it didn't work.
And there is nothing on radar area, but windshield camera, this should be checked. will do.

And break pedal issue on the other thread, oh my god... will try pulling break pedal, and hard hitting break.

Anyway, I'm loosing my trust to the Chevy.

Sometimes the ACC freaks out while you are trying to reset it while driving. Try turning the ACC off completely (not just deactivated), then get back up to speed, turn the system on again, and activate it at your desired speed. I find that frequently fixes the problem.

I will take this opportunity to vent a little about the ACC. GM's system is full-stop/start which is great. But the range of the detector is really short compared to other manufacturers. If you are coming up on slow traffic, the system gets way to close for my comfort before it senses the slowed vehicles and then reacts. It also stops way too close to the vehicle ahead, regardless of the gap setting. It's unsettling to come within a foot of someone's bumper before full stop. There is no room for error if the system should malfunction. I don't even stop that close to people on my own.
I have experienced totally same thing what you are talking about.
I've learned that I should not activate acc to the fully stopped vehicle ahead.
barely avoided crash on my second day and third day.

Sometimes, I apply brake by stepping on it very hard, and then suddenly releasing it, then the ACC works again.

Sometimes I just put my foot under the brake pedal and pull it up, then activate the ACC and it works.

Sometimes, the parking brakes says it needed servicing, and could not turn on the ACC, so I pull to the side, turn off the car, activate parking brake, then deactivate it and turn on the car, and then ACC works.

Aside from cleaning the glass in front of the camera, and cleaning the bow tie on the grill, I also use baby wipes towel and clean the radar or sonar sensors all around the car, you know those tiny round things on the bumpers.
wow these are real know-how stuff.
Will try those things.

and reputation for chevy in my mind is reduced again
