Traction control engaging on the highway?

[HurricaneJesus]

Cruising along at 80mph then the car starts struggling...look down and the traction control light is on...did it a few times on the way to town and a few times on the way back...what's this all about?

Ford has a recall on some of their Cruise Control cars and trucks, might want to look into it, something about it getting stuck.

2001-2004 i think.

pm'd too

Might point to an issue with the ABS system too...wheel speed sensors in particular.

my gt, before it was wrecked, did the same thing. i just turned traction control off everytime i started my car. that got old real quick, so i invested in the predator. best thing i did for that car. and u can fix other small things like the speedo, del rear O2 sensors, ect, ect, ect.......

The only time I that has happen to me, was when I "hit" a patch of ice. rain, oil, sand, something that actually does cause a temporary loss of traction at the rear wheels.
