Sticking Cruise Control / Accelerator
A couple of days ago I was driving my 2004 530d on the motorway for about 30/40 miles without any intervention at all from myself. It was late at night no traffic around etc...
When I came to leave the motorway however, on the slip road, I couldn't do anything to turn it off! The brake wouldn't overide the settings, nor the steering wheel button. With no more time to try anything else - I entered the roundabout at full motorway speed running a red light and hitting 2 cars, before parking it in the barriers! To say it's a write off is a massive understatement - but luckily noone was hurt.
Has anyone else had any experiences of this happening to them, or am I the unluckiest man in the world?

No offense, but given that it was late and you had been driving with the cruise for some distance, I'd think maybe some operator error was involved. Even if the cruise didn't turn off, the brakes should have been able to slow the car.

This sounds a little sketchy to me. No offense, but as the above poster stated even if the brakes didn't turn the cruise control off they still would have slowed the car down. The brakes and the cruise control are two totally seperate things.
