I have a different cruise control issue than is discussed elsewhere.
When the cruise control is on and I apply the brakes, the car tends to accelerate as if it is going up a hill. I have to stomp down on the brake pedal for it to shut off.
The Toyota dealer said that a new brake design is the cause and the system is working as designed. I find this a little hard to believe.

Does anyone else have this problem?
No but 99.99% I just pull the CC Stem towards me to disengage. Saves those behind me seeing brake lights unnecessarily.

Mine shuts off with the pedal fairly normally, although I usually use the stalk as that means you are anticipating the traffic better
Sounds to me like it's just a brake pedal sensor adjustment issue. I believe there are actually multiple brake pedal switches for various purposes so a misadjustment might cause odd behaviour (ie car is slowed before cruise kicks off, causing acceleration).
