| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota highlander 6-cyl limited running under cruise control will slowly begin to accelerate when "resume" is pressed in order to get back up to the cruising speed. However as the speed nears (within 4-5 mph) the cruising speed, the transmission downshifts resulting in a hazardous quick acceleration that requires braking or quickly turning off the cruise control. This occurs regularly during high speed highway driving. The problem can only be avoided by manually returning the vehicle to cruising speed before pressing resume. The dealer states they have no knowledge of this problem. |
