Description of the problem	Driving down a long two-lane road, i decided to put on the cruise-control for the first time since purchasing the vehicle. As my intersection came up, i hit the brakes to take the car out of cruise-control and began my turn, but the car did not slow, no matter how hard i hit the brakes. The malfunction caused me to take the turn too fast and i headed straight into a 4 foot decorative rock wall that bordered the road. The airbags deployed, the car was completely totaled, and i had to spend the night in the hospital.
