Description of the problem	Let me start by saying we loved the van up until this incident. I was driving on the interstate with my family in our 2008 kia sedona. I had the cruise control set to 75 mph, i went to pass someone and when i pushed the accelerator to pass the car. I tried to disengage the cruise control by pressing the brake as well as doing it manually by pressing the cruise control button. I could not get the van to slow down even though i was pushing the brake to the floor. At one point i was doing between 90 and 100 mph. I finally managed to get the van stopped and my brakes were smoking extremely bad. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a bad brake switch. The dealer acted like it was no big deal. I explained that we could have been injured or even killed.
