Issue ID	762037
Internal NHTSA #	10306336
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

Model	HIGHLANDER
Model Year	2005
File date	24/09/09
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	under a specific set of circumstances, the cruise control causes the car to surge past the set cruise speed. I've never let the surge get past 10 mph above the set cruise speed, i always turn off the cruise which cancels the surge. I cannot force the replication of the problem but it has happened a number of times over the life of the car. The circumstances i can identify are the cruise is set on a specific speed (like 60 mph), the cruise is disengaged to slow down (well below 60 mph), using the gas pedal to speed up on a long uphill grade, engage the cruise to take the car back to the set speed (60 mph) and the cruise blows past 60 mph. In the seconds it takes to disengage the cruise control, i've reached 70 mph.
