( I was going highway speed at 70 mph when I hit my brakes trying to stop in an emergency situation and I could not overcome the stuck cruise control to stop and had to take evasive action leaving the highway to the ditch at 70 mph and still wouldn't stop till I placed the auto in neutral and allowed me to stop ).
