| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2006 toyota rav4 limited 4 cyl in january/february of 2006. i noticed a problem in acceleration/hesitation after driving the vehicle for about a week. i have experienced acceleration problems on a daily basis. steady pressure on the accelerator yields no response, or a stutter as though the car is about to stall. when this occurs, the only way to get the car moving is to push the pedal all the way to the floor, at which point the engine races and the car speeds up. this hesitation happens throughout the day. the first time this occurred i was pulling onto a major highway from a side street and was nearly rear-ended because the car simply would not go (until i slammed the pedal to the floor). this is very unsafe for everyday driving. i reported the problem to the toyota dealer who stated that this problem was 'normal' for toyotas and something i needed to get used to. they did checkout the car and said no error codes were generated and they were unable to duplicate the problem. *nm |
