Cruise control (speed) is not working, was but has quit.
I was traveling south on i65 in tennessee, with the cruise control set at 76mph. I was near mile marker 27 on a steep incline when a car moved in front of me causing me to tap the brake to come off cruise control and slow down. When the car merged right, clearing my path, I touched the resume button to reach-engage the cruise control. I immediately felt the overdrive kick in, which seemed normal because I was going up hill, but it just went crazy. The engine raced to nearly 5000rpm, and I was going over 100mph with no ability to stop it. I turned off the cruise control using the steering wheel button, and it had no affect. I stepped on the brake, it had no affect. So I moved to the shoulder to avoid traffic, and I stepped on the brake harder. I saw the speedometer react, so I pressed the brake as hard as possible and managed to get it stopped and in park. The engine was still screaming at nearly 5000rpm, so I turned the key off. After 30 minutes, I started it, it ran fine, and I was able to complete my drive to pensacola without further incident. A truly terrifying experience. Thank you.
