| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I was on the highway and using cruise control. When i tried to turn it off, the light went off, but the vehicle continued to hold speed. The i tried to engage the cruise control and decelerate/accelerate, but the only effect was accelerating up to 80mph. Stepping on the brakes only slowed the vehicle down and didn't disengage the cruise control. I tried to shift the gears to neutral and still no effect except the engine revving to the red line. So i floored the brakes and could only slow the vehicle down to 20mph. Worried about what else may happen, i exited the highway and turned on to a street. Seeing no other options, i chose to just turn the engine off. At that point the power brakes stopped working and the car was still rolling. So i shifted the gear to park and we stopped abruptly. |
