TL - THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET TO 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 90 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED HE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. THE CONTACT HAS NOT USED THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THE 2007 CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED WELL AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4000. KB THIS CONDITION ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CONSUMER IS GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL. NO PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED OTHER THAN ON STEEP DOWN HILL ROADWAYS. THIS MAY BE A NORMAL CONDITION AS THE VEHICLE APPARENTLY DOES NOT APPLY THE BRAKE TO CONTROL VEHICLE SPEED, ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND THE DEALERSHIP. * DSY
