My XA 351 with no cruise control suffered a stuck pedal because the return spring failed - try stopping a worked 351 already going fast with the accelerator flat - all 4 ventures fully opened up - the only thing that saved us that day was turning the car off and sticking it in neutral.
A lot of these new cars with all their electronics is just asking for something to go wrong.
By the way if u did your research those incidents in the UK and USA Ford never found any faults with the car too - imagine what the cost would be if Ford had to recall all their cars from 1985 due to faulty cruise control - a lot more than just paying out the odd ones here and there.
For those who think this was a hoax I hope it never happens to you

you had better hope that wasn't aimed at me I stopped the car through the use of common sense come on man car no stop so take away drive to rear axles LOGIC gives one the solution - being a professional driver has zero to do with it - if he is unable to stop a vehicle that is accelerating he shouldnt be driving
AND what you said about your XA - off conquers all off equals no spark equals no torque equals no go equals slow down? every ignition switch I have seen by design will not allow engine to work in off position even if the switch is ruined/faulty
