Kevin,
Yes, this is a normal occurrance. The cruise control will shift from 4th to 3rd when descending a hill if your speed goes above 3-5 MPH above your set point. Most Chrysler products have the same feature. Think of it as a ticket fine reducer when the cop at the bottom of the hill waits for you to blow by him. You can override the cruise control downshift by placing the car in AutoStick mode and shift to 4th. The car will stay in 4th until you either slow down enough that the car forces itself to downshift or you manually downshift.
