Consumer Description

ON INTERSTATE 95 WITH CRUISE SET AT 70M.P.H. MY CAR EXCELERATED TO 95 M.P.H. I COULD NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE AND THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR TO 60 M.P.H. BY PRESSING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE THEN I TURNED THE KEY OFF WHICH STOPPED THE EXCELERATION BUT ALSO IMPAIRED THE STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND MY SON PUSHED US OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD.
