“Twice within the past month when driving on the interstate while using cruise control my vehicle automatically started accelerating uncontrollably. Depressing the brake pedal did not disengage the cruise control or stop the car from trying to accelerate. In both cases I had the wherewithal not to panic, control the vehicle to the shoulder, put the car in neutral and turn the engine off. After restarting the car the engine immediately continued to accelerate and throttle up to 4000 rpms while still in park. …”

“I was in the passing lane on a four lane interstate highway driving over an overpass near rockport, mo. My speed/cruise control was set on 70 MPH.there were one or more cars ahead of me in the passing lane and I was passing a semi-truck in the right lane. My vehicle started to speed up, without any input from me. I tried multiple times unsuccessfully to brake and could not slow the vehicle down. I changed lanes in order to not hit the car in front of me which we were almost upon. In doing so, the semi-truck clipped the corner of the vehicle. …”

“I was driving on the interstate going about 70mph. All of a sudden the light on my console said traction control off, service stabilitrack. My gas would not work, the power steering off and all the power was going. I barely made it to the shoulder. It was very scary also have my two children in the car. I looked up the problem in my book and it said to turn off and wait 15 seconds then turn on. That did not work. I sat there for about 30 minutes. I looked under the hood, underneath the car to see if anything was leaking. Nothing. Finally it would turn over and start. …”
