| Description of the problem | 2004 toyota sienna exhibits poor low speed drivability when accelerating from slow speed. Throttle does not respond to pedal action which results in unpredictable acceleration time and amount. Poor, or no, engine response is followed by lurch forward as throttle (over) reacts and transmission searches for the proper gear. Many 'near misses' in traffic merging situations. The primary driver, my wife, will no longer use this vehicle. Several dealers have reviewed this issue and state that toyota classifies this performance as a 'characteristic' of the 3. 3l platform. This performance is not acceptable to me and vehicle will be replaced if not repaired soon.*ak |
