IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. I SET THE CURSE CONTROL AT APPROX. 60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND SOMETIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, OCCASIONALLY THE SPEED WILL DROP DRAMATICALLY BELOW THE SET SPEED AND THEN START TO SPEED UP AGAIN BUT WAY PASTED THE 60 MPH SET. I HAVE TO DIS ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL TO STOP THE SPEED UP. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO THE FORD GARAGE, BUT THEY SAY THEY KNOW OF NO ISSUES WITH CRUISE CONTROL. I THINK THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF NOT CORRECTED. *TR
