| My mother and i were driving south on i-95, mile marker 277 (north of daytona) with the cruise control set for 72 miles per hour. i was in the right lane, and as i approached a car going slower, i applied the brakes to release the cruise control. it would not turn off, so i moved to the left lane and tried repeatedly to release it. i was about the hit the rear of the car infront of me, and it seemed like i was accelerating rather than decelerating. i could not slow down so went into the median strip, and still was unable to slow down.it seemed i was unable to even depress the brake pedal. it seemed frozen. it was rough going, and i was afraid of going into the northbound lanes, so i steered the car to the right, and seemed to slide across the nearest lane into the side of a u-haul truck. the impact spun us around and we came to rest in the median strip. | |||

| Cruise control will not disengage by depressing brake, using the off switch, or depressing the clutch. also, when this occurs, the speed slowly but steadily increases. the only way to correct the problem is to turn off the ignition, or press the brake until the car stops and the engine dies. *nm | |||
