2010 Ford Escape cruise control problems

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. The contact was sitting idle with the brakes depressed. As he removed his foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle abnormally accelerated and crashed into the rear of the vehicle ahead of him. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was schedule to be repaired. The contact was told that the body damage would have to be repaired before the vehicle could be inspected for internal failures. The contact and a passenger were reported injured. A police report was available.

While pressing the accelerator the car shuts off and comes to a slow stop. Your are not able to accelerate. The wrench light comes on first. I stop the car, turn it off, wait about 10sec and turn the car back on. It starts fine. I travel about 6 miles and the car stops again, this time jerking back and forth a little and then the check engine light comes on. I stop the car and follow the same steps on turning it back on. I am still able to break and steer off of roads.
