At 60 mph the cruise control was on at the steering wheel, but not set. It set itself as indicated by the "cruise" light on the dash and would not turn off, but kept accelerating as indicated by the gas pedal being depressed. I applied brakes and it still would not turn off. After reaching 80 mph, I was able to start slowing down, even though I could feel the car continue to try to accelerate and the cruise control indicator on the dash was still on. After traveling 1/4 mile, I finally got the car stopped on the side of the road, I put the car in park. The RPM's were pulsing between 2500-3500 and continuing to climb. I turned off the key. Smoke was boiling from the front brakes. It took a full 15 seconds for the accelerator pedal to release from its engaged position. I could hear a "pop" and feel the accelerator pedal spring back to its normal position. The dealership is blaming my floor mat.
