Well I tested the radar mode the last couple of days, and I am still perplexed. When set on all following distances, it seems to operate about the same. Sometimes it goes down the other side of the overpass without an increase in rpm's, and sometimes it goes up to over 4000 rpm's, and it does...

Well on my ride home I set the cruise control to constant speed mode, and I am happy to say it completely cured the problem of the rpm's revving to 5000 or more on the downside of a normal freeway overpass. The rpm's held perfectly steady right where they should be at about 1750 at 65mph. What a...

You've got that right. I will tweak the settings on my 35 mile drive home in about 2 hours. I will update everyone with my findings. I already can tell you that there is no difference in the lower RPM mode vs the sport mode. Both ways the RPM's go almost to red line on both driving modes, when...

Thanks for your post jolly. I have learned a few things. First of all it looks as if this car does not have an ECO mode, just normal, I guess is what you would call it. It seems if you accelerate at a "normal" speed the ECO light on the dash is displayed, but this is not the ECO mode. Then for...

Well I start out in the ECO mode. If I want to switch to Sport mode, I press a button near the hand brake, to switch out of the ECO mode to the sport mode. The car will drive in either of the two modes, and you can tell when you switch to the sport mode, by the increase in performance. As for...

I have tried every scenario. Sport mode, ECO mode, and there is no selection for radar, or constant speed, it just keeps a safe distance from the car ahead of you and accelerates , or decelerates, as the situation changes. All efforts have resulted in the same result. The only exception was one...

Well would you turn it off on a 35 mile trip to your job every time you went over a normal overpass? That is at least 25. Now that is ridiculous.

My 2017 Corolla XSE, as previously mentioned, experiences this problem at 05:15 with no other traffic, and on a flat roadway, on the normal cross street overpasses. on the downside of the same overpasses, I have almost red lined experiencing increases in RPM's to as much as 5400, when my RPM's...

Well that salesman is a dumb ass, excuse my French. You and I both know what he won't admit. I would hope they could do a computer update which maybe would let us turn this crap off, when not needed. I too am not fond of the CVT, and I made the same mistake. I miss the feel of the car shifting...

I am looking forward to hearing what they tell you. After discussing this with my salesman, and seeing some of the comments about how this is normal, I feel like Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Holy sh*t, pass the Tylenol.

Thank you drequeen. This is an absolute nightmare. I had to put off my visit to the service department because of my job, but I am looking forward to discussing this with the service department manager, whom I have had several discussions in the past with my 2012 Corolla. He had better not tell...

Well I was called and asked by my salesman to reschedule my visit till Wednesday of next week. I will update my situation then. Meanwhile I will also complain to the NHTSA. This has to be something that an update to the car's computer could solve. You are not alone.

An update to my post of 1-26-2017. I was driving home from work on the same freeway 3 days ago, and put the car in cruise control, and there was absolutely no problem what so ever. On the downhill side of the freeway overpasses, where previously the car revved to over 5000 rpm's sometimes, this...

You are not dreaming Skippy, just check out my post before yours. It is BS.

I just purchased a 2017 Corolla XSE 10 days ago. I have the exact same problem. The only difference is I live in Houston, Texas, where the only hills are on the highway overpasses. The first time it happened I had the cruise control on and was traveling to work at 05:15, and I came to an...
