    Several times while resuming cruise control my acceleration has gone faster than expected, beyond the limit that i set. I had to slam on my brake to stop the acceleration, which is very frightening, and of course unsafe. I was able to avoid the traffic on the highway because i always allow a safe distance behind other vehicles. This has occurred at least 4 times in the time i have owned the 2007 camry. *tr
