The cruise control was set just over 70 mph and the vehicle accelerated on it's own. The vehicle reached 90 mph. When the brakes were applied, the cruise control did not disengage. The ignition was turned off and the engine finally quit. 20 minutes later the vehicle was started and redlined. The cruise control module was replaced. (denso cruise control actuator, Toyota 88002-06020, serial#mx100300-6040 12v, made in mexico) the consumer had the brakes replaced months before the incident, however the heat produced caused the rotors to warped.
2 years ago, more or less, I adjusted the driver's seat and the steering wheel of my 1999 Toyota Camry le. Since that time, on occasion, I am unknowingly turning on the cruise control which is a button on the end of an arm off the steering column. I cannot reset the seat and steering wheel position to fit me but I am very worried that having the cruise control operating my car when I don't know it may be a very dangerous situation for me and my car.
The vehicle after cruise control was set reponded with a continuing of sudden acceleration. None of the operational control selections/accelerate/ set/coast/off/resume and accelerate. When activated would not alter the cars internal control. The engine was turned off, then turned back on and still nothing happeneed. The automatic gear shift was moved to neutral and the engine went immediately to high rpm's (above 5,000 rpm). There were two incidents of sudden acceleration that on 2/03/99 one was on the freeway. The second was in heavy traffic flow just after peak hour. Weather and driving conditions were very goodto excellent. .
