Default Cruise Control/Active Handling???

Periodically my cruise control will disengage for no apparent reason. Also, the active handling will engage intermittingly though not necessarily at the same time. If I disengage the traction control neither problem will occur. I suspect the TAC module. Am I on the right path or could it be something else?

Normally the cruise control disengaging for no apparent reason is caused by a miss adjusted clutch and/or brake switch but that sound like it may not be your problem.

Is the car setting any codes?

Forgot to mention, no codes are thrown.

Your active handling is broken, I promise you. If active handling engages for even a split second (to the point where you don't notice it flashing), it will disable cruise control. Pressing the traction control button, it disables your active handling and so cruise control is unaffected.
