2010 Toyota HIGHLANDER Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	770883
Internal NHTSA #	10314742
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER
Model Year	2010
File date	12/01/10
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I have a 2010 toyota highlander base model. When cruiser control is activated and when the vehicle is moving slightly uphill, the vehicle usually accelerates to a speed that is much higher (over 5 mi/hr higher) than the set speed. This situation happened several times and was worrisome, especially when my wife was driving. I purchased the vehicle on december 28th, 2009. I guess that the local dealer (heiser toyota, milwaukee) must be aware of the problem at the time of my purchase but pretended to not know the problem, because the specific salesperson (art stamos) told me and my wife during vehicle delivery that, in case of uncontrolled acceleration, we should put gear to neutral and firmly press brake pedal. I suggest that your office request toyota to not only recall but buy-back all toyota vehicles that were sold during the toyota's most recent promotion period (toyotathione) in which toyota was aware of the problem but decided to do nothing.
