“I was traveling north oh hwy.45 out of galveston tx . The car`s cruse control was set on 60 MPH . I had just cleared the last overpass and was on the flat road when the motor ran up to 4000 RPM with no speed increase. The cruse was still set at 60 MPH. . The car bumped and the the RPM. Dropped to 1600 RPM . I call the dealer and they told me to just drive it and watch it . I don`t think this is a normal operation .”
NHTSA complaint #11338215, filed 2020-07, 3,800 miles“When cruise control is engaged and the vehicle is traveling down an incline it will accelerate 5-10 MPH over what the cruise control is set at. For example if I have it set at 65 MPH it will accelerate to 75-80 MPH on it's own. I brought the vehicle in for this twice now and Toyota can not figure out why it is happening. The RPM's will get up to 4000 and once the vehicle is leveled out again on a flat route it hard breaks to slow the vehicle down.”
NHTSA complaint #11299338, filed 2020-01, 2,000 miles“Whenever cruise control is applied and I'm going downhill on the highway, it will accelerate 5 to 10 miles an hour and the RPM hand would rev up during the excessive speed up. I was told this is normal but I don't think so.”
NHTSA complaint #11306176, filed 2020-01, 65 miles“There is a severe safety issue with the cruise control. In reading Corolla on-line forums, it appears that it has been a Toyota problem for quite some time ' not something specific to my vehicle alone. The first couple of times I had to take it off cruise - as it wasn't safe in any way. The last time I set it well below the desired speed with no other vehicles in view so that I could try to allow it to run its complete cycle. I wanted to see exactly what would happen if allowed to run its course. When I set the cruise control, it sets fine. …”
NHTSA complaint #11388935, filed 2021-01, 34,000 miles“Even on small hills if the cruise control is engaged, the motor will race to 4000 rpms while the car will try to maintain set speed (often goes 3-4 MPH higher). As the road levels, the motor will drop down to normal RPM's. I asked the tech at Toyota and was told her husband's Corolla does this too. Acted like it is nornal.”
