| Description of the problem | 2005 toyota sienna xle - cruise control will not hold when going downhill. Dealer checked it, contacted toyota tech. Support. They were told this model is not designed for cruise control to hold going downhill! I contacted toyota via e-mail and was told the same thing. I have owned many cars and never have had cruise control not hold on a downhill road. It will be set at 60 and continue going as high as 80 when brakes applied. This is a danger, defect, something is not right with such a design. I am putting in a recent date, but it has occurred since the vehicle was purchased. Number of failures is on-going. *nm |
