Cruise control cannot be shut off via brake, only via master on/off switch. Yesterday, even the master switch would not cut off the cruise control and it stuck in the accelerate position causing a run away vehicle situation. I had to smoke the brakes to stop an kill engine. Vehicle has been towed to local chevy dealership. This hapened first when the truck was only 2 weeks old and then again yesterday twice. Yesterday was the first time for the master switch to fail also. Very dangerous!!! f.
The cruise control was not shutting off with application of the brake pedal only the master on/off switch, however the on/off switch failed to shut off the cruise control resulting in sudden acceleration.
