Description of the problem	While driving on the highway using the cruise control, the car suddenly accelerated. The gas pedal was pinned to the floorboard. I attempted to disengage the cruise control by pressing down on the brake pedal. It did not disengage the cruise control leaving the car still accelerating in traffic up to and beyond 90 mph. I attempted to turn off the cruise control with the switch on the steering wheel but it did not disengage the cruise control. I did see a warning light appear on the dashboard but was unfamiliar with it. I later looked it up in my owners manual and it was the "electronic throttle control" etc) light. Realizing there was no way to disengage the cruise control, my only option was to try to slow the car down by pressing as hard as possible on the brake pedal while the engine was attempting to continue to accelerate. This was moderately successful and allowed me to reduce the speed to a manageable speed to lane change to the emergency lane. Once there i used both feet on the brake pedal where i was able to almost stop the car while the engine raced. It was not able to turn the car off because it was still in gear so i threw the car into park and pushed the off button. The car shut off and i was safely stopped alongside the highway. I have since been able to drive the car but have not attempted to use the cruise control. I have scheduled it to be serviced and will hopefully get some sort of data from the car as to the malfunction. ## vin passed ## jeep grand cherokee 2013 ## tt as js dt*jb
