The adjustable gas and brake pedals move while the vehicle is motion without any type of activation by the driver, this causes acceleration or braking issues with the vehicle, when this occurs the pedals always move towards the driver not away, it occurs without warning and there is not apparent cause for it happening

Cruise control switch will not turn on/off, and cancel button won't function, have had cluster replaced, and software updated twice(once at dealership, then at my mechanics), the "repair" only lasts for around 15,000 - 20,000 miles before it starts to act up again. Most times after turning on the vehicle the steering wheel/cruise cluster needs to get hit violently multiple times to engage(turn on) the cruise control, regardless on if vehicle is stationary, or in motion. Some times I end up making a 25 min drive(or more if it is happening on a road trip) on the freeway with out it even engaging(if it takes more than 3 min(time to freeway) to try to get it to activate, then I don't risk trying to get it active, but will try every couple of minutes to turn it on with out success.

At times when driving either on a city street or highway, the transmission will downshift to low gear out of nowhere. Ex: I'm driving on the interstate at high speeds and I hear that sound...like it has been thrown in 1st gear. At times have been driving 60+ MPH when this has happened. The only way to "reset" is to hurry and pull over and restart vehicle. It has happened numerous times, but sporadically, during the past couple years. The most recent incident, just a couple of weeks ago in april 2018. The service engine light does not comes on. I notice a recall for transmissions, but my VIN does not show it is needed on my model car.
