| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Cruise control varies speed by 7 mph hour when engaged during non flat terrain causing a safety issue with cars following. When on flat terrain the cruise control maintains its target speed within +- 1 mph with no problems. The safety issues occurs when the vehicle encounters rolling hills, the cruise control will allow the speed to decrease by as much as 5 mph while descending down the hill, then as it begins to climb will aggressively accelerate to 2 mph over the target speed. When the road flattens out again it will maintain the original target speed. At highway speeds, 70 mph, this causes safety issues especially when traffic conditions are moderate to heavy in that traffic follow will not have any indication that the speed is slow by 5 mph. This in turn will cause a hazardous situation where a collision could occur. This has been reported to the local toyota dealer and toyota support responded that all is working within parameters and no adjusts are planned. Case # 200701250758 has been opened with toyota customer relations with no promise of action. *nm |
