ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
09/25/2011
	I was traveling home to camden, tn from west frankfort, il with my children on hwy 69. cruise control was engaged. when entering a lower speed zone, i attempted to slow the vehicle, but after attempting to slow the vehicle, upon releasing the brake, the vehicle would increase in speed again and the engine continued to run high. i knew there was a major problem when i was going uphill and the vehicle was increasing in speed relatively quickly. i pressed hard on the brakes, but the brakes were very hard to press. i knew we were in trouble at this point because i had just replaced all four brakes the week before, so i knew the brakes were fine. i shifted the vehicle into neutral, engaged the emergency brake, and managed to pull the vehicle off to the shoulder in front of a bp gas station in murray, ky. i turned off the car, waited about one minute and started it again, but the vehicle was running high, as though the accelerator was stuck. a friend came to help me and we managed to get the vehicle running again and i traveled home the next day. the same thing happened again on 10/14/2011. i was traveling to work with a co-worker and i put the vehicle into cruise (for the first time since the september incident). suddenly, upon trying to slow down to make a right hand turn, the vehicle brakes became very hard to press, the engine ran high, and the speed began to increase. i immediately knew that the same thing was happening as before, so i immediately looked for a safe place to pull over (no good shoulders on a windy country road), put the vehicle in neutral, engaged the emergency brake, stopped and turned off the vehicle. when i turned it back on, it was running high still. i turned it off, shook the accelerator pedal vigorously and the vehicle ran like normal. i have not used the cruise control since and have remained without incident.
