| Description of the problem | Start to have the following problem on 12/20/2018 get up to 20 mph hard shift and then up to 40 mph has a vibration and then after between 45 and 55 mph it drive normal. Noticeable hesitation when accelerating and shifting occurs between 30-32 mph. Hesitate to accelerate between 2nd and 3rd gear when taking off, it mostly happen when the engine is first starting out from stop, afterward it fine gears shifts correctly and the idle control guage is normal between gears. I took the car to the local toyota dealer on 01/03/2019, the technician took the car for drive test and he said its a torque converter problem. They changed the torque converter part; on 1/05/2019 i went to the dealer to pick up the car and after driving for few minutes, i noticed the same problem. I retook the car to the toyota dealer for the same problem, and the same technician took for the test drive, and this time he said it has internal delay on second gear. I am not sure what's the problem, but they advised i need to change the transmission. After doing some research i found the following online. "cars equipped with an automatic transmission might experience a hesitation when accelerating. Revised software for the on board computer is available which may correct this problem. Software revisions are commonly most helpful on newer vehicles. Once the mileage builds up a worn component could cause similar problems. Whenever major transmission work in performed, the transmission software should be updated as necessary". I am taking my car on 01/07/2019 to update the software and see if that can fix the problem |
