| Description of the problem | There has been many times that when i needed the car to accelerate it wouldn't, nearly causing an accident several times. What usually happens is i will come up to a corner to make a turn and instead of stopping i accelerate to avoid oncoming traffic only to have the car hesitate . Sometimes i have had to push the accelerator peddle to the floor and even then it takes some time for the car to move faster. Also i have found that in traffic i will need to accelerate to avoid a collision only to find the car does not downshift and seemingly hesitating. Now not every time does this happen, but it happens sporadically. This dangerous, and i asked the dealer to check out the transmission, which they did but they found nothing. It was on july 19, 2017 that i took the car to the dealer, lombard toyota customer #103445, invoice #382304. |
