2002 X-type 2.5 almost 50000 miles (primary driving to work, 3 miles each day)

The above has occured a few times (2 years ago) and once today. It appears that if I am on the petrol pedal and at the same time activate the cruise control, than the engine will store and all the lights in the dashboard will be flashing. The car will lost all power. Once the car is stopped and restarted, everything will be fine. The first 1-2 times, it happened outside my home, with limited traffic.

Since then, I learn to activate the cruise control after the car starts at the garage, nothing happened since.

Today I was on the motorway, and I "may" have touch the cruise control whilst accelerating, the engine again stopped and the car slowing came to a stop. All lights in the dashbord lighted up. Fortunately, the traffic behind me slowed down.... I restarted the car and everything was fine and got home safely.

Is this a frequent occurance and is something bad going to happen to the car? I quite like the car. I have frequent services and no fault codes were noted (last service was 4 weeks ago).

Will not touch the cruise control again!

Any info will be appreciated. Thank you
