2005 Cruise Control Issue....maybe??

I work on an Army installation and the Speed ***** are serious about their posted limits. I set the cruise at 35mph the moment I pass through the security gate. At one point, I use the DECREASE button to lower the speed to 25mph. Somewhere between 35 and 25mph, then engine COMPLETELY stalls. My previous experiences with a variety of other cars is that the cruise simple disengages....NOT shut down the motor. The steering and brakes don't work as well without the motor running...

Is this normal?

Thanks,
Michael
