| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Multiple times, i have tried to accelerate the vehicle and there has been "hesitation" when i depressed the gas pedal--the car seemed to be in neutral, there was no response. this has happened many times at different speeds/gears--it is not predictable. i have almost been rear ended once; in that instance the car actually "bucked" and stopped. i had to turn off the engine, restart, and drive a short distance to a safe place to stop. at other times, i have been on a relatively empty street and it has not been as much of a problem since no one was behind me. however, this is an accident waiting to happen as i have a long commute to work (and bought this car because of what i thought was its safety and reliability). on my first visit to the dealer, toyota made a fix according to a technical bulletin. on the second visit, they did nothing because they could not replicate the problem--even though they were told that the problem happens intermittently. on this second visit, they merely test drove the vehicle and we were told we could rent a loaner vehicle from them at their cost because there was no problem with the vehicle. *jb |
