Also on the 2004 they have issues with the neutral safety switch mechanism that is on the gear shifter below the center console. I had to replace it on mine. Although mine would just cut out, and the cruise control wasn't acting up.

JJWESTBROOK If you still cruise here did the button replacement fix this erratic CC issue. The symptoms you list are similar to what I am seeing. I can also hard smack the steering wheel and change the symptom a bit.
Anyone else is welcome to chime in also.
