| Description of the problem | I was on a highway in rain on cruise control approaching an off ramp. My speed was 72 mph as set by cruise control. I applied the brakes to disengage and slow for the off-ramp which is sharp. As i approached i started to apply more brake pressure. The vehicle began accelerating as i was going into the turn. I stomped on the brakes and the brakes went to the floor repeatedly while still accelerating. I navigated the turn at high speed with the back end breaking loose and fish tailing. I barely made it around and proceeded to hit the off button frantically. The truck shut down and i coasted to the side of the road. I had my 7yr old girl in the truck. It was terrifying. When i restarted the truck the cruise control was disengaged and the brakes worked |
