The car in front of me slowed down so i tried to disengage the cruise control with the cruise control lever. my goal was to slow the car down however it was not working fast enough so i pushed on the brakes. i was unable to push on the brake because it felt like a cement block. my cruise control did not disengage forcing me to pull over onto the shoulder where i was still unable to come to an immediate stop. finally i pushed in the clutch which helped to slow the car down but the brakes still felt very stiff. i believe this was a problem that was created due to my using the cruise conrol. the car was taken to our mechanic who could not find anything wrong with it. i believe, however, that a temporary malfunction occured that caused the cruise control to fail to disengage.*ak
