What owners wrote

Intermittent deceleration issue: while driving and I take my foot off the gas to slow down, the car maintains the speed and does not decelerate until I put my foot on the brake, sometimes I have to pump brake to bring speed down. For lack of better description, it feels like the car is on cruise control. I have been back to the toyota dealer three times and after test driving and running diagnostic testing, was told this is 'normal'?
