Question Cruise control is sloppy?

I am not seeing that the cruise control in my TCH is working as it should...or as it works in my non-hybrid gas guzzling Chrysler. With the Chrysler, I set the cruise at a given speed and it stays there no matter what the terrain...uphill or down...no matter how steep.

With the TCH, though, it will only maintain my set speed on level ground or going uphill. Going down is a totally different story...tonight I set the cruise for 35 miles per hour and finally put the brakes on because of a corner but I was up to almost 50 miles per hour! Is this 'typical' with the hybrid or Toyota? My old (1988) Honda didn't hold the cruise as well as the Chrysler but not this poorly.

Any other experiences? I know that the manual states 'changes in vehicle speed may occur on steeper grades'... Is this something to talk to my dealer about? Can it be adjusted? This is the ONLY complaint I have about my beauty!
