| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2006 tundra 4 door overspeed when driving in cruise control. when driving at highway speed with cruise control on and approaching a slight incline, the vehicle will drop into passing gear and the throttle will go to full throttle. this will cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle, especially on a rain slick road. this has happened many times, and although i am aware that it could happen, it still startles me when it occurs. if close behind another vehicle, this could lead to an rear end accident. the normal progression should be dropping out of overdrive, with a gradual acceleration to maintain set speed, and then back to overdrive when set speed is obtained. dealer called toyota and they claimed this is normal operation. documented with toyota dealer, and now with nhtsa. when accident occurs as a result of this overspeed, hopefully toyota will reset the computer control module to fix problem. *jb |
