Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving 75 on i76 in colorado. i had the speed control set to 75 mph. all of a sudden, i couldn't cancel speed control and the speed started increasing. i tried everything to cancel it - no luck. i slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a slower speed moving straight before turning the key and engine off - i knew the steering wheel would lock, that's why i straightened the car out on the shoulder before i turned it off.*ak
