| Description of the problem | Throttle lag at low speed and from stop is inconsistent and has been the cause for several close calls when pulling into traffic. Manufacturer was informed; dealer investigated; reloaded software and problem still exists. Toyota states this is normal and nothing can be done." some instances have been several seconds before actual throttle response. Driver has to use harder acceleration to compensate when this happens. This is a safety issue that toyota is aware of but declines to admit it is a problem. Driver is very concerned that this issue will be cause of an accident. Every time car is taken to dealership problem is re-addresses but no fix has been made. *nm |
