On I-77 between columbia,SC and charlotte, with my cruise control on, running about 67, in the passing lane. As I approached a truck in the passing lane, I tapped the brake pedal to disengage the cruise control. It didn't work! I pressed the off button on the cruise control, that didn't work. I tried pressing the brake again and each time I did, when I released the brake the car "shot" out like a rocket. Finally, I put the vehicle in neutral, pulled over to the side and cut-off the ignition. I could have easily run into the back of the 18 wheeler, or another vehicle. When I recranked the vehicle's cruise had disengaged. I took it to the Toyota dealer (cherokee Toyota), canton, georgia. They said they couldn't find anything wrong, and it may have been the floormat got stuck under the accelerator. Believe me, that's not what happened. The floor mat has never moved while driving. They never explained to me why the cruise control would not disengage. . . I am afraid to use my cruise control, and afraid to allow my wife to even drive the vehicle. . . .
