2018 Toyota Avalon ... new car ... less than 200 miles on odometer.
Set the cruise control to 35 mph (for construction zone on freeway). Then accelerate to 70 mph and set the cruise control. The car brakes suddenly and returns to 35 mph.
This could cause rear end collisions on a freeway.
Another cruise control problem ... inconsistent speed with downhill gradual slope. The car brakes (tach speed drops), a second later the car accelerates (tach speed jumps), a second later the car brakes (tach speed drops), a second later the car accelerates (tach speed jumps).

This is a very jerky ride.
The local Toyota dealer is aware of the problem.
