EDIT: Not sure how I didn't see it, but this thread is about the same issue. It seems that one of the culprits is the brake pedal position sensor is flagging the computer that the brake pedal is pressed (when it isn't), and kicking off or not letting the cruise engage.

---------------------
I got my 2017 Premier Volt in June, and ever since then the Cruise Control (not adaptive) will refuse to engage for part (or all of) a drive. This occurs every few weeks, and usually after sitting for the night, works the next day.
The symbol is white (armed), no response when pushing the Set button (or resume, if it was working earlier in the drive). This has occurred in varying temperatures (from hot to cold), and weather conditions (clear to rain and snow).
Things I tried:
- Turning Cruise Control Off (no symbol), waiting various lengths of time, then back ON
- Attempted to engage at Various speeds
- Placed my foot under the brake pedal, pulled up, then re-attempted (see below)
- At a stop light, turned the car off for a 30-60 seconds (did not time it, but it was a long light)
- Called OnStar, they found no problems or error codes after a remote diagnostic
One time, I drove to the Dealer when it was happening. The car sat for a bit while I explained, the advisor/mechanic got in and tested it. Of course it worked fine. When they hooked it up, no error codes reported.
The last time it happened, I tried putting my foot under the brake pedal and lifting up. Then tried to engage, and it worked! So they replaced the brake pedal position sensor thinking maybe it thought the brake pedal was depressed and it blocked the cruise from engaging. That was a couple weeks ago, it re-occurred tonight. I suppose it could just be another bad sensor, or maybe something with how its mounted.
I have emailed Doug Butterfield, a GM representative that I talked to about this in the past. Hopefully something will happen. The Dealer is stumped.
Any one else have any similar experiences?
