| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2006 toyota avalon with ~15,000 miles on it. intermittently, the car will hesitate on acceleration. this is extremely dangerous as i have almost been rear-ended several times and have had to slam on the brakes, at times, to avoid a side-swipe collision. the delay in input to the accelerator pedal to actual acceleration is 2-4 seconds at times. this is a problem known to toyota. the service department is aware of the problem but describes it as a "characteristic" of the drive by wire throttle system. this is a very dangerous "characteristic" and i'm certain will result in accidents. there are many examples on the "forum" on edmunds.com where owners have expressed the same problem/concern. *nm |
