| Component | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The transmission has a delay when running at low speeds and when having to change gears up or down under a change of load condition; like going uphill or passing. Very noticeable when you take your foot off of the gas for a moment, like turning into a street or driveway. The van will jump into a gear like if someone had popped the clutch on a manual transmission. I have had this problem since i have owned the van. I have taken it the dealer several times and they always say there nothing wrong. I have had the transmission fluid changed several times but nothing changes. I thought i was the only one having this problem until just now; after reading about how many other have the same issue. I wish toyota would just tell the truth about the vehicles that they make instead of just acting like it is always the customers who is at fault. This will be my last toyota. I have owned three in the past, no more. Especially since all of the other things that has happen with their cars lately. |
