Acceleration noticed while driving over 45mph, and when slowing down after driving over 45 MPH, sometimes as little as 1 minute. At times, the cruise control accelerated to over 40 mp on its own after a complete stop. Engine temperature has rarely been in the normal range during this occurrence. This problem is wearing out the brake system.
