1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2013

I was driving on m-80 across illinois, for about 2 hours on cruise control, set at 69 mph. I suddenly realized that the car seemed to be going too fast, as I passed a couple cars rather quickly. I glanced at the speedometer and saw it, in about one second, go from 85 mph to 87 mph and I immediately braked, thereby stopping the cruise control (?) from continuing to accelerate the car. When this happened, I did not have my foot on the gas pedal or my hand near the cruise control mechanism. The car just simply accelerated quickly on it's own. I tried to continue to use cruise control to drive back to michigan, however shortly thereafter, it began to rain/snow so I didn't use the cruise control after that. This is a new car that I just bought in September.

2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2013

Clicking when in reverse and appling brakes shifting brake pads ? coming to stop car seems to shift to neutral ( better gas mileage) ? going up hill 70 t0 75 mph in cruise control car will down shift 1 or 2 gears this is the way the car programed . On all issues Toyota claims their is nothing they can do as the car is operating according to specs . They tell me the car is safe I have concerns as to how . Why is their a noise in the brakes ? why is the car down shifting they say their is a disclaimer not to use cruise in mountains . They seem to have a problems they can`t fix.
