1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2022

While driving approximately 50 mph with the cruise control on, the engine light came on and said "service engine", the engine shut off and shortly after restarted on it's own. When it restarted it did not allow me to reach the previous speed and would not allow me to restart the cruise control system. It did finally let me reach a decent speed. I parked the car and then later started the car, it appeared to be normal, the cruise control worked again. At home I was able to reset the service engine light. This was dangerous because if there was a vehicle close behind me there would have been an accident.
