At 28,000 miles the cruise control set switch quit working. Switch was replaced and worked find until 34,000 miles at which time the cruise control set switch quit working again. Acts exactly like first time and taking it in friday for dodge to check out the problem and fix it again. When I press the cruise control switch it says it is ready but when I press the set switch nothing happens.
