Two Primary Issues
Okay, I have a 1994 Buick Century 3.1L V6 with 4 speed auto w/ OD
Problem 1: I was traveling through W Virginia on I-77 traveling about 70 - 80 mi/hr (using cruise control) and some "person" suddenly stopped, no one around and no tolls/exits for miles. I had to brake EXTREMELY hard to avoid a collision after I accelerated again I noticed that my cruise control was not working, I went to the next exit pulled into a parking lot and restarted my car, I went back onto the the interstate but my Cruise control would not engage, later that night I pulled into a restaurant noticing that my high mount lights were remaining on... I had to pull the bulbs to keep the battery from dying. About a month later I had the electrical wiring (brake area) worked on, it fixed my auto start and high mount but not my cruise control. Problem 2: Acceleration tends to be slower (or rough) in gears 1 - 2 on some occasions but other times the car will drive normally The car currently has about 101000 miles on it. Any help?

Re: Two Primary Issues
If that was my vehicle I would leave it.
I have never liked cruise control.

Re: Two Primary Issues
on the cruise issue, your car was a changeover year, so it had two designs of cruise release switch.
On one design, there are two switches on your brake pedal. One turns the brake lights on, the other releases the cruise control and the transmission torque converter lock-up. On the other design, there is only one switch with two separate circuits, one for the brake lights, and one for the cruise release. When you stomped the brake pedal, you could have knocked the cruise release switch out of adjustment or it may have become unplugged.

Having the gas pedal go down on it's own made me feel like my car was possessed! I would rather have control over the speed of my vehicle.
