Default Cruise Control shutting off....?

So..... I drive the same 34 miles one way to work everyday. so I am pretty darn familiar with the road, but I noticed last week going home that my cruise control would just shut off. I'm thinking I had hit a big enough bump in the hwy to deactivate it. but then this morning on the way in it did it like 5 times in a mile. any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks,

Since applying either brake will deactivate it check to make sure you don't have a short in one of those light connections. Have someone follow you on a similar route to see if your brake lights flash coinciding with the system shutting off.

If it's something with the actual system it may be throwing codes which will tell you what's wrong or at least point you in a general direction to start troubleshooting.
