| Description of the problem | While driving down freeway, the cruise control was set to 62. It suddenly accelerated on its own (as though i had slammed on the gas pedal) while being passed by a semi truck and trailer. When i tapped the break, it did not turn off. When i slammed the break down, it did not deactivate. I was forced to throw it in neutral, and veer into the shoulder. While in neutral, the engine was still revving as though the gas was pressed. Once stopped in neutral, i had to turn off the vehicle completely in order to put the vehicle into park. I let it sit for 5 minutes turned off then start the engine again. I nearly ran into the back of an rv, and nearly rear ended by a semi truck during this episode. |
