| Description of the problem | Our 2006 toyota avalon (limited) was in cruise control set to highway speed, about 60 to 70 mph. For a reduced speed zone, the car was slowed by 10 mph using cruise control. After the reduced speed zone, cruise control setpoint was increased 10 mph to return to the previous highway speed, and the car continued to accelerate uncontrollably to more than 80 mph. Then, the brake was applied which took car out of cruise control. The car slowed, and cruise control was reset to highway speed. The problem did not recur on that trip in 2006, but there have been other cases of uncontrolled acceleration since the above incident. |
