I'm not certain that the recall applies to the '05s but I would check in to it.
Just call the service department with your VIN# and they can tell you if it needs to be done.

Ford cruise control deactivation switches

The switch is simple to change.
However if your vehicle is eligible have the dealer do the change.
It sounds as if the switch on the master cylinder is acting up.
