While driving the car will shut down and I will lose power steering and power brakes and I'm pretty sure my air bags are not working either

2002 cadillac deville - throttle stuck full open - traveling at highway speeds in cruise. Touched the brake to allow for traffic. Then touched "resume" on the cruise control; throttle opened fully and stuck there. The only way to stop was to turn off the ignition, which I did. Then had no power steering or power brakes, while still in traffic.

2002 deville stalls at low speed without warning. Loss of steering and hard braking.

Car stalled out while driving at 45 miles per hour. Difficult to control with no power steering and power brakes. Had I been driving around a corner, on the highway or going down a hill, this would have resulted in an accident. Auto had to be towed, would not start again. Dealer said problem was the fuel pump failure. Fuel pump also failed on 08/04/2003. In that instance, the auto was stopped and would not start. Appears fuel pump design is defective and very unsafe. I did notice other complaints on your web site for this model/year car that show the auto stalling out while being driven. These might also be related to the same problem.
