1996 Ford Taurus cruise control problems

While stopped in a line of traffic, my 96 ford taurus began to accelerate to appr. 40-50 m.p.h I left rubber, thankfully I did have my foot on the brake which helped to some degree. About three weeks earlier something similar had happened but at far less a speed appr. 5 MPH.
