| Description of the problem | From the time i purchased the car i noticed that when i floored the gas pedal or just stepped on it to pass a car, there would be a hesitation of 4-5 seconds before it would wind up and then go. I talked to the dealer who said that yes they were having problems with the early models of 2007's and he got approval from toyota to replace the transmission. This did not fix the problem, i went back to the dealer and they stated that a new program needed to be installed on the transmission. They did it but it is still the same. On 10-25-08 i went to the dealer to again complain and they said that i would just have to live with it. I feel that this is a safety issue because when you accelerate you need the car to respond, which it will not do. |
