Have noticed this issue ever since purchasing the vehicle new, but it was most obvious on the first long mountainous road trip this week: with cruise control engaged when beginning up steep inclines, the cruise control guns the engine, pushing the vehicle to speeds nearly 5mph over the cruise control set speed. Was traveling interstate highways, so by "steep" I mean nothing more than interstate standards. It is an unexpected increase in speed and dangerous to the point that I eventually started disengaging cruise control going up inclines.
The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. The contact was driving approximately 65 mph when there was a rapid increase in acceleration and engine rpms. The malfunction occurred unexpectedly when the cruise control was in activation. The vehicle came to a stop once the brake pedal was engaged and then resumed normally. The vehicle had not been diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.
