Unofficial : Cruise control recall in Canada? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Shroomster · 10-30-2010, 02:12 AM

here in the states my wife's Rostra intermittently doesn't work, she'll set it and it will just cancel itself (stop holding a selected speed) or she will try to set it and it won't do anything...

Occasionally ( perhaps 1 in 20 tries) mine will not take a set. I switch it off, then on again and it sets fine.

I have the rostra cruise unit. I'm keeping it. when we bought the car, I was actually a salesdick at the dealership...so on paper i sold the car to my wife...

it was a $489+tax option, we wanted cruise, and it was the only cruise option that would work with the warranty, so we got it. at the time, may 2008, there was no factory cruise option, only the dealer installed option. we use it constantly on the highway.

so, I'm a Firefighter and Medic, and i actually do carry and use a 2way vhf radio, and when i'm driving, i typically stick it in the driver's cupholder...which i've been warned against doing. the catch is, according to the letter, it's only susceptible to interference when the radio is in transmit mode. i never transmit when it's sitting in the cupholder, and also according to the letter, it's only a possible scenario when the cruise is activated. when i'm on the highway, leaving my community, i'm no longer on call, so my radio is off anyway.

the reason i'm keeping it, is because i feel the reaction from the dealership has fell short. unlike others, the only option for the "recall" (it's not a recall if all they are doing is removing it and not replacing it), is for them to remove it free of charge. no refund was offered, and it was not an option when i inquired. they will also not install a cruise unit in it's place, so it really does sound like a great deal, doesn't it?

I'll chance it, but like i said, using my radio and using my cruise will not coincide.

the car is at the stealership right now getting it's 65,000 km maintenance service, front brake service, and acc belt replacement. they told me i'd have to sign a waiver saying i didn't want it removed - i'm going to refuse to sign it, based on my lack of support of toyota's decision that i don't need cruise control.

Tell them to give you a real Toyota cruise stalk and the parts mentioned in my DIY, and you can replace the Rostra aftermarket cruise control with OEM cruise control:

Mine is a 2006 Canadian Yarii, I never had cruise control from dealer(rostra). I bought the Toyota Stalk cruise control kit from CTScott, installed it myself and it worked flawlessly... It is quite perfect. it even performed better than the cruise control on a MINI cooper.

I have never had problems with my cruise control (even though I have one of the recalled units) .. as a result I am not going to get it removed. My Toyota dealer said .. "if my check engine light comes on we will have to remove it".
