Driving my 1994 sonoma at approx 50 MPH on a highway when all of the sudden the gas pedal started to move away from the bottom of my foot and the vehicle began to accelerate on its own (as if the cruise control was taking over). I think that I then tapped the brake and the vehicle went back to normal speed, which was to decelerate as my foot was still off the gas pedal. I do not use cruise control, but cruise control switch was in the on position. I have since switched cruise control to off position and disconnected cruise control module harness, and will leave it disconnected.
