| Description of the problem | While attempting to turn from a side road onto a main road, i needed to accelerate to blend into the faster moving traffic. While attempting to accelerate the engine acted like the gas pedal had not been pressed but maintained the previous slow engine speed despite the gas pedal being finally pressed to the floor. While maintaining the full gas pedal position the engine finally revved up and the suv lurched forward. I have not been placed yet into a hazardous situation, but that is becoming a reality. This hesitation has recurred more than twenty times since then. No, i have not taken this to toyota since they appear to have no concern for the many fine folks reporting similar engine stalling. |
