2008 Saturn Aura cruise control problems

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 saturn aura. The contact stated that while driving at 65MPH and attempting to decelerate in order to switch into the slow lane, the vehicle suddenly accelerated independently. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the guard rail. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. A police report was filed and no injuries were reported. The approximate failure and current mileage was 63,000.

I was driving across the parking lot going to get something to eat. My son was in the rear left passenger seat. As I began turning the wheel, the car locked up, hesitated, then quickly sped up. Because there was no ability to gain control of the car, the vehicle stuck the curbside and then a tree. My son and I were not injured, only shook up. The incident was reported immediately and the adjuster informed me of the recall on the saturn auras.
