Problem with Vehicle Speed Control

• Apr 09, 2016 - Daytona Beach, FL - Vehicle Speed Control
  WHEN CRUISE CONTROL ON, WHEN YOU STEP ON BRAKE AT STOPLIGHT, ACCELERATES UN- CONTROLLABLY. MUST SLAM ON BRAKES, SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, AND TURN IGNITION OFF. THEN WOULD ACCELERATE AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN TRYING TO RESTART CAR. I THINK CRUISE CONTROL FINALLY WENT OFF.

  AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR ACCELERATOR OR THROTTLE BEGAN TO STICK AND ACCELERATE INTENSELY, GOING UP TO 80MPH WITH THE BRAKE ENGAGED. I PULLED OFF THE MAIN ROAD, CONTINUING TO BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY SHUT DOWN THE CAR. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND NARROWLY AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, MY CAR HAS HAD EVERY SERVICE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER MANUAL.
