| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Serious hesitation problem in my 2006 toyota rav4. i've reported to toyota, but they indicate it's normal. problem has happened seriously 3-4 times. when slowing to a near stop or from a stop, accelerating, i get nothing when i push on accelerator. this is beyond hesitation. the first 2 times i panicked since i was merging in traffic, floored the pedal and after perhaps 1/2 to 1 second (might not sound long, but imagine no response to pushing you pedal with oncoming traffic doing 60-70)....it kicked in/downshifted or whatever. really scary. again, i noted this to toyota. i noted a post on edmunds site today with a 2005 article on past hesitation problems with toyota/lexus. and other complaints as well on this serious safety issue. i've posted a date of june 30 for incident, but actually 3-4 separate times in past 4 months. *jb |
