Description of the problem	I purchased a 2008 toyota camry for my employer. I use the car for work, and frequently use the cruise control. When i first bought the car, i had problems with the cruise control, primarily climbing or descending hills (i commute along the taconic parkway in ny). If you set the car at 60mph, for example, the car would slow down to about 50mph when it was climbing, then suddenly down shift and accelerate very quickly, literally pinning you back in your seat. This would then cause the car to speed up to about 75mph before coasting. But it would not slow down the car in any way until i either braked or the car started ascending another hill. When i had a chance, i took the car in to the local toyota dealer and mentioned this to him. He admitted that toyota had a "service bulliten" out to update the software as there were some flaws in the programming. When i questioned why it wasn't a fleet wide recall, he said "we only have to do it when people complain about it". Considering the wild extremes of the speeds that i was experiencing i found this comment to be extremely odd. However, after they did their fix, the car did improve as it doesn't accelerate wildly like it used to. But even today as i was driving the car back from baltimore, it still has a wide open range for it's cruise control that i think is not normal. I had the cruise set for 65mph today, and the car topped out at 80. + or - 15mph is way too far beyond an acceptable range. My civic controls the speed within a +-5mph range on the same route. The recent events in the news makes me wonder if there isn't a latent defect in either the sensors or the programming. *cn

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
