Description of the problem | I wa traveling on i-20 east traveling from vicksburg, ms heading to atlanta, ga. I had been using the cruise control consistently for about 3 hours. I also was using the accelerate & decelerate buttons on the steering column. I approached a slight curve in birmingham, al with the cruise control locked in at 60 mph, when all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated full throttle. I applied foot pressure to the brake, but the vehicle would not slow down. It continued to accelerate to about 85 mph. I then somewhat raised up in the seat to apply all the foot pressure i could to the brake. It slowed down slightly. When i took my foot off the brake, it began to speed up again. Next i fumbled with the cruise control buttons to see if they were stuck. The vehicle continued to accelerate. Finally, i moved the gear shift to neutral & the vehicle began to slow down. When i put the vehicle back in drive, everything appeared to be normal. Needless to say, i did not use the cruise control anymore. Thank god, we survived! |
