Description of the problem | There is a hesitation at low speeds, causing engine to intermittently loose power for 1. 5-2. 5 seconds. This is an extremely dangerous when accelerating onto interstate highways where cars going in the same direction are already traveling 70-75 m. P. H. And where making turns at intersections with oncoming traffic and other situations where power is necessary to avoid a collision. This condition has already resulted in several near miss accidents making the vehicle unsafe and not suitable for normal driving. This hesitation also seems to be noted in the related nhtsa report examining the toyota electronic throttle control that may have resulted in unintentional acceleration and at the toyota dealer where the car has been serviced, they have advised me that i am not the only one complaining about this issue. The problem seems to be one that does involve the programming of the etc and selection of a forward gear. |
