The gas pedal acceleration and a cruise control came on and got stuck between 35 and 45 miles an hour time I hit the other vehicle and laying on the brakes was probably 38 to 40 miles an hour prior that I was doing 72 miles an hour and 40 miles an hour zone. How are you able to get a vehicle hitting the brakes brake and then it would help. I barely hit the other car in the cars spun out and hit other vehicles.

Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
Vehicle parking brake automatically engages when vehicle placed in park and will not disengage. Brake lights are displayed as well as service parking brake message. Cruise control is also affected. Took vehicle to dealer and was told it was the brake switch. Ordered new brake switch and installed with no change. After reading service bulletin NUMBER: 08-060-16 titled “Electronic Parking Brake Module Connector Water Intrusion” I inspected the EPB module and found it to be corroded and partially full of water. Vehicle is not under warranty and this appears to be a very common and expensive problem that owners should not be responsible for. There is also potential of fire and of emergency brake engaging while driving that makes it extremely dangerous.
There is water filling up in my spare tire area and it’s damaged the epb module which has caused the brakes to lock up a few times. Also it is affecting my cruise control, lane assist, forward collision. And my 4wd module is getting wet and has set it off a few times
The engine lifters are tapping, The wiper switch goes out and the windshield wipers stays on and will not turn off and signal light’s doesn’t work neither the cruise controls, the transmission gears gets stuck in between gears and jerk off really fast

My horn will not work at all nor the cruise control is not working at all as well. So is all of the controls on the steering wheel. Also a low headlight went out and I may have a stuck clutch problem as well. I need all of this for my safety, my passengers, and my vehicle safely as well. I am requesting a recall so these matters can be straighten out as soon as possible. I don't know what's going to happen the next day, but I need these situations fixed as much as I can.

My vehicle was engaged in active use of cruise control, I had brand new tires, and something happened to the vehicle to where it caused an unsafe push of acceleration and the car lost traction on the road. The vehicle ended up rolling 125 feet off a small drop into a river. None of the airbags deployed despite having 13 points of impact. I had to extricate myself from the submerging vehicle. I the roads were paved with gravel on either side. I was traveling at 55mph, and following the curve of the road. *dt
My horn and my cruise control won't work for some reason. I would like to request a recall so it can be repaired properly. Those are the two problems that I'm having with my car so I can drive safely and cautiously. I care about my safety and others while I am on the road.
When using the cruise control it excelerates when going downhill and doesn't disengage when breaking or turning off the cruise control. This has been a continuing problem.
