Description of the problem	I have filed a complaint with toyota regarding the hesitation and erratic shifting of our 2005 avalon. I was told that it was due to the way the computer controls the new 5 speed transmission in conjunction with their electronic fuel injection control. In researching this problem,i have read where many other avalon owners have also experienced this. On sun.,03/12/06,i had just exited route 80 eastbound (exit 27) in n. J. And proceeded to merge with traffic on route 206 and had to immediately make a left turn. As i pressed on accelerator,the vehicle simply did not respond (hesitation) and, when it did engage after a second or two,lunged forward. This startled all in the car (myself and 2 passengers) and was a very unsafe occurrence as traffic was heavy and moving fast. The vehicle has approx. 7500 miles on it and will be a year old in june,2006. I have an appointment for service with my dealership on tues.,03/21. They are to go over the car and check to see if there are any tech. Service bulletins. I have been checking on existence of tsb since shortly after buying the vehicle. I am not optimistic. This is a serious problem and toyota should be doing something about it! Thank you. *nm
