The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while approaching a stop, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle accelerated to unknown speeds.

The driver pulled the emergency brake, and the vehicle stopped. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a collision center.
Cruise control will not disengage. Driving down highway with cruise control on and when I put foot on brake to slow down, cruise control does not stop and accelerator begins to speed up. Pulled over and had to keep foot on brake as accelerator continued to increase while stopped. Turned off vehicle, did not disengage. Turned off engine again and stomped on gas, break petals. Finally cruise control disengaged.
