I had this exact problem with the same symptoms. A little bit of searching showed that the electrical cable was zip tied too tightly on the steering wheel assembly.
And when the weather was right, the little tug on the connector when I tilted the steering wheel would pull the connector just enough to make the cruise fail. Once I noticed that it would drop out when I tilted the steering wheel, it was obvious.
Crawled under the dash and found the 'too tight' cable held in place with zip ties. Cut the zip ties and the problem went away.
Hope that's all that's wrong with your system.
Clavin's suggestion of checking the brake switch is good too. That's the issue for many people.
