Recently reported VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL problems on 2012 Smart fortwo

I was driving on the freeway (5 lane) in my 2012 smart fortwo passion coupe in the middle lane at 65-70 mph. all of the sudden my accelerator was no longer functional. i looked down and saw that my speedometer and gear indicator were also non-functional. i was able to coast (despite heavy traffic) to the shoulder of the fast lane - it was impossible for me to get to the slow lane shoulder due to heavy traffic. i was able to use the breaks once i hit the shoulder (unsure if power brakes or not) and once stopped was unable to use automatic windows. i could not move the car out of drive for approximately two minutes. after 2 minutes i tried again to move the car out of drive and was able to put it in park. at that point i was able to re-start the car and accelerate enough to get back on the freeway. i consider myself very lucky to have been able to reach the shoulder (as it ended about 200 yards down the freeway). the experience was absolutely terrifying. *tr
