 Description of the problemNew rav-4 was slightly more than 1 month old (7/1/14 to 8/11/14). We were driving back to atlanta from vacation in the outer banks, we were using cruise control to maintain speed on the expressway. We came across a slower moving truck and pulled into the passing lane, still using cruise control. While passing slow truck, another truck came up on our tail at a higher rate of speed. I stepped on the gas to get in front of the slow truck, intending to enable the fast truck to pass us once we were in front of the slow truck and back in the normal lane. Instead of speeding up, rav-4 lost power and quickly slowed down, to the point of needing to pull behind the slow truck that we were trying to pass and having to pull to the shoulder of the road. The fast truck on our tail started to (slightly) fishtail and might have crashed into us if the truck driver had lost control of his vehicle. We pulled to the side of the road and tried to rev the engine, but got no response, the engine almost stalling. Since the engine was not responding, we shut the car off, and restarted, and were able to continue with no further problems, but didn't use the cruise control again for the rest of the ride home. We reported the incident to our dealer, and were told that this would be very difficult to trouble-shoot, and to continue to drive and bring it back if it happens again. We no longer trust the cruise control on this vehicle and will not use it again.
