| Description of the problem | Vehicle surges while gently applying accelerator and can't decide which gear to be in. Transmission appears to hesitate, especially noticeable at 5-10 pmh and while turning. Dealership says its completely normal. The drive-by-wire system cannot react quick enough to changes in acceleration. After days of research i see this is occurring on avalon, camry, lexus es300-330, highlander, bmw,audi, vw touareg, subaru... Shall i keep looking. Obviously the drive by wire technology is not mature and dangerous. Re-programming is needed. To date there are no tsb's for the 04-06 sienna's regarding this issue. 8jb |
