Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle surges while gently applying accelerator and can't decide which gear to be in. transmission appears to hesitate, especially noticeable at 5-10 pmh and while turning. dealership says its completely normal. the drive-by-wire system cannot react quick enough to changes in acceleration. after days of research i see this is occurring on avalon, camry, lexus es300-330, highlander, bmw,audi, vw touareg, subaru...shall i keep looking. obviously the drive by wire technology is not mature and dangerous. re-programming is needed. to date there are no tsb's for the 04-06 sienna's regarding this issue. 8jb
