07 cruise control surges

I have a 07 with 7500 miles that pulses surging the car when going down hill. The dealer acts like it's normal. Anyone else have the problem or know the solution.

It's most likely normal. The CC will be going from no throttle to applying throttle as it tries to keep the speed even while going downhill. This can create the surge feeling you describe.

Do you think maybe cruise control is applying the brakes?

Just noticed today, mine does the same thing.
