Cruise Control Problems of Cadillac SRX

I had my cruise control set to 70 miles per hour and when it was time to exit the highway, the cruise control would not turn off. I entered a one-lane elevated exit. I applied the brakes, and while going 50 mph, was trying to turn the cruise control off at its switch. I shifted the car into neutral and when I put it back into drive the car started to accelerate again. I tried this more than once. I had difficulty maintaining control of my vehicle. After getting off the exit, I brought the car to a stop by placing it in neutral. I was now at the entryway to dfw airport and had my vehicle on the shoulder. After turning the car off and back on I hoped that maybe I could drive it to a parking spot, as to call a wrecker at that moment would cause me to lose my expensive ticket for an overseas flight. After I turned the car back on, I tried to take off to merge with traffic and found that my car would not get up to speed so I pulled back onto the shoulder. I tried this again and realized that my foot did not reach the accelerator as it normally does. Not only had the cruise control failed to turn off but the accelerator was now stuck down. I hit the accelerator with the heel of my foot and it dislodged. I was able to drive the car to the closest parking lot. Upon my return I had the car towed as I was fearful of driving it.

When activating the resume switch to a set speed of 65mph, the switch sticks in the resume/acceleration position, resulting in the vehicle accelerating past the set speed, too speeds greater 85 mph, prior to disengaging the cruise control. This has occurred three different times over the past five or six years. The condition was intentionally induced on one occasion.

This is a report of a nearly fatal accident on June 29th, 2013 with a new Cadillac Srx that was leased from gm. The accident involved both me and my daughter who were belted in the vehicle which caught fire and accelerate to 110 mph. We were traveling on rt 127 n with the cruise control set at 60 mph. I was passing another vehicle and the speed started to dramatically increase. I would break and the speed would come down and then it would continue to rise. Black smoke was coming out of the engine. Using both feet on the brake, it finally came down to 5mph, but it would not stop. I pulled over at 5 mph and shifted the car into park. I used onstar and shortly thereafter the fire department, the sheriff, and another police officer were on the scene. This was a life threatening event!! the car was towed back to the dealership in adrian. I leased this car on 5-31-13, our second Srx and less than a month old. I sent a letter to dan akerson at gm regarding the aforementioned and have had no response. I am going on week two with no car and no resolution with this incident.
