Speed Control Cable Problems of Infiniti I30

I was driving on the highway in my 2001 Infiniti I30. Car has never been hit or otherwise damaged. It's a fully stock vehicle. As I was driving down the highway the accelerator pedal depressed all by itself half way and the rpms and speed rose. I tried to brake but the acceleration overcame the braking and would not slow the vehicle. I put the vehicle into neutral and the rpms were at max. I was on the highway with no shoulder so I had to put the vehicle back into gear to get to the next exit. Once I put it into gear the vehicle sped up uncontrollably again. So I had no choice but to turn the vehicle off and I lost power steering and braking ability. Luckily I was able to coast to a stop. I opened the hood and noticed the cruise control cable on the throttle was keeping the throttle floored. It would not let up. I unhooked the cruise control from the throttle and the vehicle was drivable again. There is a serious defect with the cruise control system in this vehicle. It is very dangerous. This is all original. No alterations/modifications. It occurred without warning and had I not been on the highway at 10pm but rather on the streets of manhattan, someone would have been seriously injured or killed. If this had happened 10 mins before it did someone would have been killed. I am irate but relieved at the same time.
