This morning (11/19/2020) at approximately 4:50am I turned on my car and sat in the driveway to let it warm up. Usually while it warms up I get my bluetooth connected and get my music going, but this time it wouldn't connect. I figured my husband had been playing around with the settings again so I had him come outside to look at it. It still wouldn't even bring up our phones so I shut the car off, waited maybe 30 seconds and turned it back on. This time it brought up our phones but still wouldn't connect and a message popped up on the screen saying "unable to connect- unknown error". at this point I said forget it, I've got to get to work. I put the car in reverse and immediately noticed that the back-up camera wasn't working. Figured I've already got an appointment with Toyota in the morning so I'll bring that to their attention as well. Before I made it out of town I started smelling a faint burning wire smell again. Every time I mentioned it to my husband he'd say he couldn't smell it so I thought maybe I was imagining it. Finally made it to the highway well on my way to work and decided to try the cruise control. Got to the speed limit, turned it on, drove for a few, got paranoid about deer and decided to turn it off. It did not turn off. I pressed the off button and it accelerated. Tried the off button again and again it accelerated. Tried the down button, accelerated again. Thought maybe there's a crossed wire so I tried the up button, you guessed it. Started going faster. It allowed me to break and stop so I pulled over and turned off the car for a few minutes. When I turned it back on everything was functional and was still functioning as expected after work. To be clear, I did not try the cruise control again.
