Interesting replies from Nash and TCH2007. Now I'm wondering if some of us are having problems with our cruise control and/or brakes. To expand a little more I can tap the brakes hard enough to feel the car begin to slow down, release the brake and still have the cruise disengaged. You can see how:

1) I would expect the cruise to be disengaged at this point and

2) It would be alarming to have it kick back in at this point.
