Could you have been rolling up over 92mph? If so that's why it was being disabled.

Nope. It only takes a mile or two over the set speed to cut it off sometimes. It can be very intermittent and almost seems to be temperature and time-at-speed dependent. That's what makes it difficult to diagnose. When we go to Arizona, it will be easy to check to see if the neutral safety switch is the problem.
Unfortunately the switch has to be replaced from under the car. I may try to replace it down there as we will have some down time once we arrive.
We're having another one of our blizzards of 2008 again so we are soooo looking forward to getting down there in the warmth.

Fred- I've had similar problems with the curise control on my 04 XT 5-speed. In my case, it kept disengaging shortly after being set. It first did it probably 2-3 years ago on a road trip but then it didn't do it again until the drive out to Arizona. One day it would work and the next it wouldn't. That was a year and a half ago and it's acted up only one time since. Of course taking it to the dealer when it's working is a good way to waste time and money so I'm really interested to know if the neutral safety switch is the problem.

Frank: I will post if anything happens. Unfortunately, we are not taking a trip without the trailer so the speeds may not be high enough to trigger the problem.

Had the cruise issue on my legacy this pas week. Found out there is a TSB on the ECU for it IIRC. I will let you know if/when I bring it in and what the final outcome is.

Hey Mike: That would be super! We're shoving off for AZ on Wednesday but I will be able to check your results.
