Default Auto-stop and Cruise Control both not working

Just wondering if anybody has gone through this with both auto-stop and cruise control not working.

The auto-stop: even with the IMA fully charged (or just down one or two bars), the car won't go into auto-stop even, fully warmed up, after 30 miles of freeway. Then it will decide to go into auto-stop, but won't come out when I leave the brake pedal and step on the gas. They only way to get the engine to reengage is to shift into neutral (!). Then the next day, auto-stop will work perfectly.

Cruise control: very sporadic and getting worse. The car just won't go into cruise control. Turning the cruise on and off (the left button) has no effect. Again, some days are worse than others.

Both of these problems developed pretty close together, so I figure they might be related.

I've been in once and of course the car wasn't doing either of those things that day. Service said it might be related to the brake recall. After they did that, no problems for a solid week, then back again.

I'm trying to decide whether to bring it in before the big holiday week or to wait. Part of the decision is trying to figure out what it'll be like as it gets worse.

Thanks for any advice, folks!
