Cruise control doesn't set. It shows it's on but I can't get it to set. I've turned it off and read all the tricks - but nothing works. I have knee issues when I drive long distances - I need my cruise control to work. I've got appointment to have it looked at. I don't think I should be out how ever much it will take to fix if so many others having same issue, and this should be a recall.
