The FEB system is braking when not necessary, causing potential serious damage/injury. The sensor is also affecting my ICC/cruise control. An orange light comes on while using cruise control and the cruise control stops/fails and will not reengage until I stop the vehicle and turn it off, then on again.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK HER BRAKE PEDAL STARTED DEPRESSING TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP QUICKLY. WHEN SHE FINALLY MADE IT HOME, I CHECKED THE BRAKES AND THEY ARE STILL ACTING THE SAME WAY IN OUR DRIVEWAY. SHE WAS DRIVING HOME ON CITY STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY.
