This morning I activated my cruise control (cc)as I normally would at 55 MPH. Immediately my truck began accelerating until I finally disengaged cc when the speed reached 83-85 MPH. It was still accelerating at the time I disengaged it. I attempted to recreate the incident with no luck. Before the incident, I was driving in a city environment at speeds less than 55 MPH, so there was no way I had previously set the cc to a high speed that would have caused this to happen had I hit resume.

System will occasionally suddenly decelerate as I am passing, usually a large truck. I will be in adaptive cruise control and as I get abreast of the trailer, the vehicle will suddenly decrease speed by 10-20 MPH, then accelerate back to the set speed. This, obviously, has the potential to create a rear end collision if someone is following and not paying full attention, esp if there are multiple cars following. This has happened multiple times.

While driving and applying my brakes they do not always seem like they are going to stop me in time. Sometimes it feels like the brake is grabbing and the stop is jerky and not smooth. On a couple of occasions while driving with cruise control on I applied the brake pedal but as soon as I took my foot off the brake the vehicle sped up on it's own to resume previous speed so it appears the cruise control did not disengage when brake was applied. I first noticed a braking issued when I started driving the vehicle in july 2020. Thought perhaps I just had to become accustomed to the braking system. This is not the case and it has been happening the past 2 1/2 months that I've owned it. The problem persisted so I took it to toyota service dept to be looked at. My vehicle was purchased new from dealership and now has about 3500 miles on it. I took my vehicle to service dept in gettle toyota on cortez rd in bradenton fl on 9/18/20 and they said basically "it's the nature of the beast. They tested it and thought at first the brakes seemed really sensitive but then compared it to a test drive of another vehicle on the lot and determined that's just how the truck is. I am not convinced that the vehicle is safe. After spending over $40,000 on a truck I'd like to feel safe. Always thought toyota stood behind their products but now not so sure. If you can look into this safety concern, I would appreciate it.
