I was using the cruise control when traveling on the highway (3hr drive) was getting off the exit and when I went to cancel it would not do it nor turn off. I was very fortunate that was able to press the brake and was able to come to a complete stop. I called the dealer and the corporate office and it shows no recalls.

AT 1/11/19 AT 4:30PM,I WAS DRIVING N BOUND AT 35MPH. I STARTED TO DECELERATE BY LETTING OFF OF THE THROTTLE- I WAS MAKING A TURN INTO A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, WHEN THE THROTTLE WENT TO WOT BY ITSELF. LUCKILY THE CAR IS A MANUAL- SO I HAD TO PUT IT IN A HIGHER GEAR AND RELEASE THE CLUTCH WITH THE BRAKE ON TO GET IT TO STOP.

Cruise control "on" at appx. 55 MPH - had to brake due to traffic - but, cruise control remained "on" - only heavy braking eventually stopped vehicle - cruise control was "fighting" the brakes - brakes "won" that battle. Took it to dealer who could not find anything wrong.

When turning into a parking spot on an incline, I had slowed to start the turn. I then let off the brake a bit to be able to roll into the spot. The car then accellerated into the wall at the end of the spot damaging my bumper, scratching the car next to mine and also the wall I hit.
