2007 toyota highlander hybrid, v6, 4x4 --- on november 23rd, 2011, at approximately 10:00am, I was driving with my family on I-5 south in the central valley of california. The cruise control was on, but not engaged because the traffic was too heavy. My speed was approximately 65 miles-per-hour, going uphill. Unexpectedly, the engine began to race. I applied the brakes to keep the car at the speed of traffic and examined my cabin for clues of the problem. The transmission lever was still in "d".
