| Description of the problem | While being driven down the road (with the driver's foot on the accelerator pedal) the vehicle intermittently loses acceleration (begins to decelerate) despite continued pressure on the accelerator pedal. The driver must release their foot from the pedal and then press it again. The car accelerates (sometimes with hesitancy) and sometimes the car will jerk as the engine revs. This has happened over 20 times. No warning lights have displayed. I changed the engine air filter (though it was not yet due for its next change) and i cleaned the mass air flow sensor with the the appropriate spray. However, the problem continued (with 3 separate drivers). It was taken to a toyota dealership for a diagnostic workup. They couldn't find anything wrong with it. They suggested cleaning the throttle body and adding a bottle of heet to the gas tank. I added iso-heet to the gas tank and took it to a private mechanic who cleaned the throttle body with the appropriate cleaner and added a bottle of seafoam to the gas tank. None of these resolved the problem. I took it back to the toyota dealership. They did a test drive and obd-ii scan. Again, no codes. They told me there were no other options to resolve the issue. I am at a loss for words. This is a safety hazard because this happens while on the expressway. When the car automatically decelerates (giving no warning to the driver behind me, e. G. Brake light), this is a rear end accident waiting to happen. Very scary. |
