Consumer Description

2001 TOYOTA CELICA GTS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I TRIED TO DISENAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY STEPPING ON THE BREAK PEDAL THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL. I TRIED TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE SWITCH BUT THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF TO STOP THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON IT REV'D UP AND ALMOST PEGGED OUT THE RPM GAUGE. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DISENGAGE. *TR
