Description of the problem	Toyota avalon cruise control safety problem. After several experiences with unexpected rapid acceleration i took the car to the toyota dealership in o'fallon, illinois. What i discovered is that the laser cruise control system adjusts on the cruise control level in 5 mph increments up or down. However, if you tap the lever up more than once it will increase the speed by 5, 10, 15, 20 mph. More importantly, if you hold the cruise level for more than a few seconds, the cruise setting continues to increment and in just a few seconds you may have unknowingly increased the setting for the cruise by 20 or 25 mph. This is very dangerous since older models of most cars, including toyotas, just increment your speed by a few m. P. H. As you hold the cruise control level up to get to the desired cruising speed. Most importantly, the owners manual is inaccurate and does not describe how the resetting of the cruise speed actually works. In my opinion the cruise control level should not be allowed to increase your set cruising speed by 20 or 30 mph by lifting up the cruise level or a few seconds. I have experienced sudden rapid acceleration several times in highway driving and had to slam on my brakes to avoid an accident. My guess is that a lot of the complaints about the toyota prius in the press recently result from the same condition with the owners not informed as to how the cruise adjustments work and the manuals are probably inaccurate or incomplete.
