My 2004 Ford Explorer has an occasional problem when I try use my cruise control.

Once in a while...I will switch to cruise.....and it is suddenly as if I put the car into neutral...which I didn't.

It's kind of scary to be going 70 miles an hour, and switch to cruise, and suddenly the power steering is gone....and so is the accelaration. I've had to struggle over to the shoulder around fast moving cars...with the power steering gone.

When I *reboot* (turn the car off and on)...everything comes back.

This has happened three times....so I just stopped using my cruise control. It didn't happen every single time, though.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I do know that the 2004 Explorer is the first year of a new transmission......

Don't know much else, though. When I take it in for service..I mention it...but they have yet to find a problem. (I tell them just to go out on a highway and use the cruise control...you'll experience it)!

Thanks...

I boil bell peppers first when I cook them in the oven. If you don't boil them before cooking them in the oven, the peppers are hard...not to my liking at all. I see that most crockpot recipes don't say to boil them.

I'm thinking you don't need to and just want to check, because alot of the oven methods for cooking stuffed peppers don't mention iboiling them either. Yet they come out hard if you don't.. Can anyone help me on this?

I'd really like to try cooking them in a crockpot....

Thanks in advance!
