Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The transmission acts erratically at low speeds. if i am rolling through a stop sign or just in traffics at 5-10 mph the transmission will "hunt" for a gear. sometimes it is a hesitation and sometimes it jerks into gear, depends on how much trottle you apply. if i am stop turn right on red, have plenty of time to make a turn before an approaching car arrives, if the transmission is hunting for a gear, i have no control of the car. it might be only for 1 or 2 seconds, but it is dangerous. repeated service trips, service manangers and even district manager has failed to get anyones' attention. check out this web site, here are 44 people with similar problems:http://fourwheeldrift.wordpress.com/2007/01/16/toyota-avalon-transmission-problems-expose-toyotas-problem-reporting-problems/ *tr
