OFTEN WHEN I HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND PUSH THE BUTTON TO INCREASE MY SPEED, WHEN I HAVE REACHED THE DESIRED SPEED AND LET GO OF THE BUTTON, MY CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE AND WON'T STOP ACCELERATING UNTIL I TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT'S VERY FRIGHTENING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS APPROXIMATELY ONCE IN EVERY 7 TIMES I TRY TO USE THIS FEATURE OF ACCELERATING WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL.
