“I accelerated to enter interstate #81 and the throttle pedal retracted from foot and pressed to floor. Felt as if cruise control had engaged but it had not been. I tapped break pedal repeatedly and vehicle would not stop. If it was in cruise control this should have disengaged it. The throttle was fully floored and car was racing down interstate #81 with four passengers out of control. I applied break pedal with full force for about two to three minutes and vehicle finally began slowing down and I pulled car to shoulder of interstate. …”
