Cruise control and hesitation. I recorded one day the number of times the cruise control jumped down 2 gears on the interstate in florida. 50 times in 1 hour. The tac displays a rpm of 2,300 then it jumps to 3,400 then down shifts again to 5,400 rpm. Yes, it is designed to do this. Toyota said. My previous camry did not do this. My complaint is, that if toyota disclosed this 'design flaw' to any potential customer,…

The cruise control on our 2007 toyota camry xle (4 cyl) is an extreme safety hazard to the point we cannot use it. When traveling on a highway with the cruise control set it will downshift and surge 5-10 miles faster than setting when encountering the slightest hill. When we brought this to our servicing dealers attention on two occasions they report it as operating correctly but tell us they and toyota are aware of…

Cruise control is extremely erratic and is completely unusable. Its is scary and dangerous. I have tried to use it about 5 or 6 times. Always a problem. This may be related to the acceleration hesitation and engine revving problems previously referenced. Odi number 10191074. *ak

The car overshoots set speed by 2 - 3 mph and often causes a collision potential with the car in front. I have had to slam on the brakes several times to regain control of the car and avoid a collision. The car also over-aggressively…

I purchased a new 2007 toyota camry in june 2006. After returning the car to the dealership several times because of the sluggish acceleration from a stop was consistent and the passing gear downshift felt delayed as if there was a communication lag between the tcm and actual switching of the shift solenoids at speeds less than 50 mph. The cruise control will not set speed. On steeper grades and on the interstate…

The cruise control/transmission on my 2007 camry causes the car to operate in an unsafe manner.

At this point, the car looses speed and the transmission then shifts back into overdrive. The downshifting starts again until…
