Cruise Control problems of the 2007 Saturn VUE

While passing another car on us 17a with cruise control on, my car continued to accelerate even when I attempted to decrease the speed control and when I turned the cruise control off. . . Depressing the brake pedal slowed the car at the expense of the brake pads. . . I turned the key switch off. . Pulled off the road restarted the car and the engine over revved and I turned the key off again, attempted to restart again with the same results. Stomped the brakes several times and this time the results were normal. Either the cruise control or accelerator petal or control module I suspect were at fault. . . . . This could have been very bad if we had been in a high traffic condition. . .

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Vue. While driving approximately 70 mph with the cruise control engaged, the accelerator pedal extended to the floorboard when the cruise control deactivated the cruise control and depressed the brake pedal. The speed increased to 80 mph without warning. The contact had to lift the accelerator pedal with her foot, which caused the speed to decrease. The failure recurred on one other occasion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure was unable to be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
