I recently took a trip to Louisville which was seven hours away. Going
to there, the Cruise Control worked fine, but on the way back when I
tried using it abruptly it stopped functioning in the middle of
driving. I would like to know what solutions there are for this. I
tried pushing the resume button, turning off the engine and then
restarting it a few minutes later, and turned the cruise control off
many times.

That code be anything from the steering wheel switches,wiring,brake switch,
servo, vacuum line. A scan of the BCM (body control module) with a scan tool
may help if there is a fault code present.

On the chance that it is the brake switch, check that your brake lights
are operating properly (i.e., are not stuck on). Like Glenn said, it
could be any one of several things - but that is one thing that can be
easily checked yourself at zero cost - and those switches do fail or get
out of adjustment.
