2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2007

I purchased a previously owned 2000 Toyota Camry on 11/4/07. While driving from northern California to southern California on the loss date I activated the cruise control feature. Traffic on the freeway began to slow and I depressed the brake pedal to slow the vehicle. Traffic began moving again then suddenly stopped. I again depressed the brake pedal but the car seemed to accelerate even though I had both of my feet on the brake pedal. My car crashed into the rear of a vehicle in front of mine causing both air bags in my vehicle to deploy. The crash impact jammed the driver's door preventing it from opening, trapping me in the car with smoke pouring from under the hood. Initially the electric window would not open but finally did allowing me to extricate myself from the damaged vehicle.
