I was using the cruise control at 70 MPH (posted speed limit) I had never used the cruise control in this vehicle before. (manual transmission) the incident happened during rush hour heading toward london. As I had to slow down, I had absolutely no brakes! I never had any issue with the brakes prior. Depressing the brake pedal did not disengage the cruise control and I was heading toward the rear end of a car at 70 MPH. …”
