Cruise Control Problems of Ford E-150

Adult male driver, I've ran a truck sales since 1971, driving all brands an this is a first and the most dangerous 2 or 3 minutes of my life. . . . . Driving a 2009 Ford f150 61,62 mph on cruise, coming into leary georgia an approaching 2 vehicles ahead of me, I touched the brake petal to release the cruise control. This is the start of a nite mare. The throttle went wide open, from 60 I go to 75 -80 I had to pass the 2 cars ahead in town or rear end them. I had both feet on the brake an the transmission kept downshifting giving it more power. I turned the ignition off and then no brakes, no steering, no lights. I was prepared to hit woods or building to Dodge the cars on street, had a full 90 degree rt turn to make an cross a rr track, needing brakes and lights I turned ignition on , full throttle again, turned ignition back off and steered under a service stations canopy and back out on the street and across jumped the curb and into a god sent vacant lot, grassey, wet and soft. It stopped. After a few minutes and taking my nitroglycerin ,I stopped shaking enough to start the engine, it idled. I locked it and left a note on the windshield to not attempt to drive this vehicle will kill you, will run away full speed. Don't blame it on driver error-cellphone-texting or alcohol- it was a runa-way truck and will seriously hurt or kill your wife, son or daughter that's inexperienced.

On March 25th I took my f150 in to the Ford dealership on a safety recall for the speed control they disconnected it. They told that they have no parts too fix it from Ford. How can this be when the recall is from 2005. I can't believe it would take this long. Someone needs to address the problem.

When driving on a highway with the vehicle speed cruise control on, the component will shut off without warning. I have brought the auto back to the dealer twice with this complaint, both times I was told that the problem was fixed. Both times the component failed again while in use. I will be bringing the auto in to the dealer again in two days for the same repair. I see that Ford motors has been aware of this problem publicly since oct. 01, 2004.
