Unexpectedly, and without her command, the cruise control engaged itself and forced the vehicle to accelerate rapidly. Please note that she was not utilizing the cruise control function at the time. Applying the brakes did not have the effect of disengaging the cruise control. Driver was fighting the force of the drive train unintended acceleration with full brake force, but the vehicle would not come to a safe stop. …”
