My automobile is a 2010 Toyota Highlander le. I was driving south on i15 just south of barstow, CA. , at approximately 65mph. My cruise control was on. I either pressed resume or did nothing, it happened so fast I am not sure which. My car began speeding out of control to the degree that my head snapped back to the headrest. I have never experienced that kind of acceleration before. I braked soundly, and fortunately that kicked it out of the acceleration. I have been driving Toyotas and using cruise control for years. This was not normal cruise control acceleration. Neither was it a sticky pedal, as Toyota is claiming. The car just took over. I am not sure I could even duplicate that rate of acceleration if I tried. It was something internal with the engine or the computer.
