| Description of the problem | The first week i owned the car i noticed a hesitation in the accelerator followed by a lurching forward. Took it to dealer who said it was caused by the drive by wire system and would adjust to my driving in time. No adjustment occurred. I continued to make complaints to no avail until i threatened write to nhtsa. They then said "wait, don't do that. We'll talk to the service manager to see if he has a fix. Within 30 minutes they had recalibrated the engine control module/ecm (sae term: powertrain control module/pcm). Warranty information was: op code eg7023; description recalibrate emc (pcm); time 0. 9; ofp 89661-#####; t1 26; t2 99. The results were good although i sometimes still feel almost undetectable small surges when i am driving as if i am not really controlling the speed with the accelerator. By the way, i had reported this twice before and when i read through all of the 2006 avalon reports mine was not there. Are the reports deleted after a period of time? |
