Default Usually it's a bad brake light switch....>>

Check your brakelights for proper operation...There's a chance they're not working! Common failure. $10 part (at ECS anyway), easy fix... Located at the pivot of the brake pedal.

Default Yep, cruise failed & it was the brake switch. Brake lights were out too w/no warning light...

Could create a nice lawsuit if anyone was ever injured.

Default I hear ya! My dealer didn't have the part in stock, so I had to wait.

Install is pretty straight forward if the dealer didn't already do it for you.
