On 6 separate occasions I had my cruise control on on the highway. After either touching my brake or touching the cancel button the control cancelled itself. However 5 times going up the hill by my house and once on a side street the cruise control engaged itself and started to speed up I assume to highway speed. At all times I touched the brake or cancel button and it shut off. I just fell uneasy about this because I fear one day I may not be able to shut it off. I am an a well experienced driver I have driven everything from motorcycles to buses and tractor trailers over 50 years and this concerns me.
