While driving down the road with the adaptive cruise control on the car randomly slams on the brakes. this has happened multiple times. it has happened on highway driving and street driving.
I was driving on a highway when the car accelerated by itself, brakes did not work. the car put itself in the middle of two lanes, then accelerated turn half ,i think, crashed (the front of the car)with a small hill some how did not stop and ended up somehow turning back and crashed again this time the back of the car crashed against the hill and stopped. the car suffered several breaks in and a transmision repair. this is my third toyota. it was perfect before the incident. it was very scary. just a few min before the crash i was passing a toll at about 28 mph. after passing the tool i was faster than that but i do not like to speed.
In dynamic radar cruise control, the car does not act as described on page 237 of the owners manual. the manual states even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing thelever down to set the new speed." when i try to do this the vehicle will quickly slow down to 1 mph below the previous set speed. sometimes, the brakes are applied to bring the car down to that speed. this could be unsafe, especially on wet pavement. toyota say the car acts as intended.
