Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The 2001 toyota rav4 has a significant hesitation problem upon acceration resulting in, my opinion, an extremely unsafe vehicle. at random times there is virtually no power produced by the engine for approx. 5-10 seconds when the accelerator is depressed. this results in a very dangerous situation when in heavy traffic. the dealer, admitting there is a problem, claims they have no idea what causes it, nor does toyota. i have narrowly missed being hit by other traffic when i expected the vehicle to smoothly accelerate out of harms way when it did not.*ak
