Recently reported SERVICE BRAKES problems on 2009 Kia Spectra

I purchased the vehicle in 2011. since then once in awhile when i stop my car at a light or a stop sign, the car moves forward even after i step on the brake. i then have to quickly put the brake on and turn the car off or else i'm a hit someone was in front of me. i have taken it to the dealer and i'm told that i have to bring it there when it's happening. this is happened a few times since 2011. it always happened when i would step on the brake at a stop light or a stop sign when my car should be motionless however it would keep going even though i stepped on the brake. i have not kept track of when this has happened. below i had to put a date that it happened. i do not know the dates that this is happened since i purchased the car it is probably happened at least 10 times since i purchased the car in 2011. i did not keep track of the dates

When i applied the brake, the car sped up and lurched forward hitting the vehicle ahead of me which was stopped at a traffic light; i had a mechanic inspect it, he said it was the brake calipers and replaced the calipers, and rotors, and the problem has continued to occur..have had it back to the mechanic 3 times and he says he cannot reproduce the problem

This has happened on more than one occasion. while traveling on the interstate at 70 mph the vehicle begin increasing in speed. brakes were tapped, no decrease in speed, brakes were applied, no decrease in speed, pushed to de-activate cruise, no result; i had to push the gear shift in neutral, motor was racing, turn off key, turn back on momentarily all while driving in traffic. the cruise then quit working for several weeks, began working again; traveling 60 mph and was unable to make a turn because cruise would not disengage. very dangerous!!! at this point i do not use the cruise nor will use it until i can have it seen. *tr
