Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway with cruise control on and activated. I am not sure which speed it was set to (it would have been between 65-85). As i was driving, i approached a car in front of me and depressed the brake pedal with my right foot. I did not deactivate the cruise control first, because braking should deactivate it. When i pressed the brake pedal, it was completed jammed and would not move at all. I then lifted my foot, and pushed the brake again. I then slammed by foot down on the brake and it would not move. The whole time i couldn't depress the brake the cruise control was still active and i was coming very close to the car in front of me. I then depressed the clutch and the cruise control was deactivated, and the brake pedal then was not stuck and it worked as usual. After this, everything in the car seemed to work normally. I came extremely close to having an accident on the highway because of this problem and i could have killed myself or others. I had to swerve in order to avoid an accident on the highway and it was extremely stressful.
