1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/31/2000

While accelerating on to the freeway, my vehicle began to climb in speed. I thought I had accidently hit the "cruise" button so, I cancelled the cruise control. That did not work and the car began to gain more speed despite my attempts to brake. I also placed my foot behind the foot pedal; nothing would slow the car down. I finally stopped the vehicle by pressing on the brakes which, were to the floor. I will never get in this vehicle again, either as a driver or a passenger.
