Cruise control disengages by itself at any given speed after driving a mile or so. Then I hit resume, kicks on and after a while, disengages by itself again. Last night it disconnected 21 times in a 16 mile stretch of on highway I-4. this after taken it to dealer courtesy Chevrolet whom I reported the condition and they replaced some parts. But still doing the same.
