| Description of the problem | When accelerating from 5-10 mph, van hesitates and then jerks forward trying to find correct gear or catch up. This is especially dangerous on snow/ice. Took to local dealer 3 times and was told all of toyota's 5-speed transmissions do this and my sienna wasn't as bad as others. The dealership did reprogram computer and i could tell no difference. I was told there was nothing else they could or /would do. I complained to toyota headquarters and still got nowhere. *jb |
