Cruise Control Doesn't Shut Off
 
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.

Just a light tap of the brakes disengages my cruise control.

Copied notes from the duplicate thread (in the hope only one will "survive"):

It also probably interpreted light braking as a sign that it was going up a hill, as light braking does not actually apply the brakes, only the traction generator to slow down at first.

lizwiz,

My cruise control takes more brake pedal pressure to turn off than I'm used to. I find using the cruise control stalk to turn it off works best. TomS brought up a plausable reason, so maybe this is the way it works.

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).
