| Description of the problem | I have a problem that i am afraid could cause me to have an accident. Just a few months after purchasing my 2010 toyota avalon i started having this problem intermittently. Sometimes it kind of stalls. Usually happens when i am turning from a complete stop, such as turning right or left. It is as though my car stalls for a moment. I give it gas, but it doesn't do anything for a few moments. Usually around 15 to 20 mph. If iam pulling out in front of traffic i almost get hit. Recently i was on the highway, i just pulled out and was going approx. 40 mph and it stalled for a few moments, maybe less than a minute. If a car had been behind me i would have been hit. Each time i told the service advisor @ the dealer i was told they had to be able to duplicate this. It only does it on occasion. But this is a serious problem. |
