| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have filed a complaint with toyota regarding the hesitation and erratic shifting of our 2005 avalon. i was told that it was due to the way the computer controls the new 5 speed transmission in conjunction with their electronic fuel injection control. in researching this problem,i have read where many other avalon owners have also experienced this. on sun.,03/12/06,i had just exited route 80 eastbound (exit 27) in n.j. and proceeded to merge with traffic on route 206 and had to immediately make a left turn. as i pressed on accelerator,the vehicle simply did not respond (hesitation) and, when it did engage after a second or two,lunged forward. this startled all in the car (myself and 2 passengers) and was a very unsafe occurrence as traffic was heavy and moving fast. the vehicle has approx. 7500 miles on it and will be a year old in june,2006. i have an appointment for service with my dealership on tues.,03/21. they are to go over the car and check to see if there are any tech. service bulletins. i have been checking on existence of tsb since shortly after buying the vehicle. i am not optimistic. this is a serious problem and toyota should be doing something about it! thank you. *nm |
