Cruise control malfunction in 2013 Ford Mondeo: experience and mechanic recommendations wanted

Hi guys, have you ever had problems similar to the one I'm having right now? On my Ford Mondeo petrol engine from 2013 with around 130,905 km on the odometer, the cruise control no longer works and an error is stored. I had a few bad experiences at my last garage visit so I'm unsure what to do now. Is there anyone who has experience with such a problem or who knows a good mechanic? Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2016 Ford Focus Diesel, and it turned out that the engine control unit was faulty. During my last visit to the garage, the mechanic carefully checked the engine control unit and found that it needed to be completely replaced. It was definitely a serious problem that should not be neglected. Even if your engine is still working, a faulty engine control unit can lead to other more serious problems. For example, it can affect your car's fuel consumption and overall performance. So, fixing this quickly is very important. Find a trustworthy garage and take your time to look at the different options. It sounds simple, but it can actually make a big difference to your driving experience. Good luck with that!

Hello, thanks for your quick reply! Hm, a defective engine control unit doesn't sound very pleasant. Do you happen to remember how much you paid to have it repaired? And have there been any further problems since then or was everything good again after the repair? Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks in advance!

Hey, sure, I still remember the repair. I had to dig deeper into my pocket to repair the engine control unit - €1000 to be precise. But I have to say, since my visit to the mechanic, not only has my engine control unit been running perfectly again, but the cruise control is also working perfectly again. It was definitely worth the money and there have been no further problems since. Hope this helps you. Good luck!

Hello, €1,000? That's really a lot of money. Well, if it helps and my car is back in top condition, then it's certainly worth it. Thank you for your advice and information. I will look for a good garage and hopefully everything will go smoothly. It's kind of reassuring to know that I'm not the only one having problems like this. You really helped, thanks again! Only the best for you.
