When accelerating rapidly (a heavy foot on the gas pedal) the vehicle often remains in acceleration mode once the pedal is released, and the vehicle continues to increase its velocity. Braking does not fix this issue. Twice now i've had to switch the truck to neutral, and let the computer figure out i didn't want the gas pedal anymore. This was a result of merging onto a freeway, and passing another vehicle.

I am also having issues with my cruise control button on the steering wheel acting like it has a short turning itself on and off. This happens when i am driving the vehicle or in the drive way as well.

My truck has just at 36,000 miles and is a 2016. At around 34,000 the cruise control has not been working properly. The on/off button doesn't always work. It doesn't seem to matter if the truck is moving or stationary. It decides when it wants to turn on or not. May go days without working, may work fine one day, and then not work again for days. It is going to the dealer today - it now has 35,966. I would hope it…
