| Description of the problem | When making a legal u-turn on a busy road i rapidly braked the car (from 45mph to 2-3mph) to a partial stop rolling through the intersection while turning the wheels to a hard left. I pressed on the accelerator expecting to accelerate out of the u-turn and instead the car hesitated and slowed feeling like there was a momentary loss of power to the wheels. I pressed harder on the accelerator with no immediate effect in acceleration. Approximately 2-3 seconds passed as oncoming traffic approached in the lane i was drifting into when suddenly all acceleration resumed normally. This incident occurred just once. Eco mode was turned on and my rav4 is an awd model. I consider it to be a reportable incident since the hesitation was not expected and increased the probability of collision with traffic in the driving lane i was turning into. |
