On september 3,2018 while traveling on interstate 81 s at exit 39 in smythcounty virginia, as this driver accelerated up to speed, said vehicle's cruise control activated without being prompted by the driver. this occured as the vehicle surpassed 25mph. this driver noticed the accelerator had been taken over by cruise control and immediatley attempted to disengage the cruise control. after cruise control buttons were turned off the acceleration was not altered; the first available exit ramp was taken, this driver used the braking system to decelerate to the speed in which the cruise control was automatically disengaged. this driver then turned the vehicle's ignition off, hoping the powering down of the vehicle would serve to alleviate the issue. this driver then turned toward home, only to encounter the same problem. once the vehicle was again slowed to the speed of automatic dissengagement, the vehicle was returned to this drivers residence at a speed of 25mph or lower to keep the cruise control from activating.
