Help..2003 ford edge 3.0 V6

I was driving down interstate today going 70, set my cruise control & the button broke. My accelerator was stuck, when i would hit the brakes it would literally shake the whole truck. Can anyone tell me what happened & why?

The accelerator shouldn't have been stuck, as when you hit the brakes the cruise control should have disengaged, did it????
If so, then maybe you have a brake rotor, or pad problem that caused the vibration when you hit the brakes???? Have you felt this vibration before when hitting the brakes at speed????

Re:

No sir, the cruise control did not disengaged when i hit the brakes, it did however slow the truck down but when I let off brakes it would accelarate slowly back up. I made it to my driveway and then threw it in netural & turned the ignition off. I started truck to move it in garage, It still revved up? Haven't been able to work on it today yet, but after work I'm going to crank her up & see what happens

You may have more than one problem. Sounds like you may have a cruise control deactivaton switch problem, referring to your repair manual for location, look on the brake master cylinder & post the color of the cruise control deactivation switch insulator.
