Cruise control on Dodge Journey went nuts and went into full acceleration and I could not disengage through braking or fumbling with the cruise buttons. You tend to panic a bit in such a situation. Managed to slow vehicle down and pull over with engine locked at full throttle. Put it in park and switched it off. Just my luck a radar cop pulls up behind me, nails me for 86 in a 50, but reduces it to 15 over. That was very kind of him, but I didn't speed, the cruise control went nuts. How can I be held responsible for a component failure? Go to see prosecutor at the courts and show him a recall ...
