After a recent incident in my 91 300D I am even more skeptical of these
unintended accelerations. As I accelerated up the on ramp the cruise
control linkage dropped loose and became jammed against the engine
keeping us at full acceleration. We were passing through 65 when I
realized it and immediately applied the brakes. The brakes had no
problem slowing the car as I pulled over to the side of the
interstate. As I was almost stopped I turned the key off and we
stopped with no drama. IIRC more cars have brakes designed to hold
back twice as much HP as a car has.
Then again, I think about the incredibly stupid public driving around
loose in the US -
