Vehicle retains cruise control speed in memory even after applying brakes and stopping. Goes back to cruise control speed instead of responding to gas pedal and rams into the vehicle in front. Vehicle revs up and down for no reason when in cruise control even when traveling on flat terrain/freeway.

I was driving down an open road at a moderate speed (about 40 mph). The vehicle suddenly began to accelerate. I stepped on the brake pedal but this only caused the engine to rev. I continued to press on the brake pedal with a great deal of force and was eventually with difficulty able to bring the vehicle to a stop even though the engine continued to be revving very high. I put the car in park and turned off the…

2007 camry v6 with auto transmission has had numerous problems with downshifting and upshifting constantly when not needed, hesitating when accelerator is pressed down. Also, the car sometimes surges when between gears, and then downshifts very very hard. The dealer has had all of toyotas tsb's applied for all of these problems, but they still exist. There needs to be some other fix for these problems. *tr

Soon after purchasing the car, we discovered a terrible problem with the cars acceleration. It only happened intermittently; when you were slowing then had to accelerate quickly. Pressing the gas pedal would result a long hesitation. This very often put the driver in danger. Soon after the purchase, we took the car into the toyota dealer. They told us that the car was operating as designed with the new computer…

After taking my camry xle into the dealer for a "check vsc system" warning on the dash, and some unusual shifting and hesitation, they said it was taken care of.
