“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. …”
