1997 Mercury Mountaineer. I the consumer bought the car used, and when using the cruise control for the first time it would not disengage. It was at 70 mph and it accelerated to 85 mph. To stop vehicle had to put it into neutral and turn the key off. Then vehicle coasted until it would stop. Also had to pump the brakes many times to stop. There was no crash. Had the car looked at by a mechanic.
