I was driving a 2010 Toyota Avalon on Monday 3-1-2010 at 2pm on the 210 going west at 70 mph in cruise control there was no traffic when I up the speed to 75 mph and the car took off up to 100mph by itself I pressed the brake taking it out of cruise control this happened in a few seconds. I bought my car one week before all the recalls started I don't feel safe in my car.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Avalon limited equipped with a dynamic laser cruise control. While attempting to pass another vehicle with the cruise control engaged at speeds of fewer than 65 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration. The driver attempted to depress the brakes to shut off the cruise control, to no avail. The vehicle would not accelerate and she allowed the vehicle to drift off of the highway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they could not duplicate the failure. No repairs were made to date to correct the failure. The cruise control mechanism had not been engaged since the incident. The failure and current mileages were 2,625. Updated 03/12/10. Updated 09/21/10.
