Description of the problem | When i accelerate the car when the rpm's are between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, there is a shudder and delay in acceleration. The car shakes until i press the accelerator pedal very hard. I brought the car to apple valley toyota dealer (martinsburg, wv) for analysis one month after purchase (january 3, 2103). They did not find anything wrong with it. There was a recent campaign by toyota to update torque converter software. The software update was done at apple valley toyota in martinsburg, wv (november 12, 2014). The software did not change this behavior. I took it in to back to apple valley toyota (november 17, 2014) and they re-evaluated the car and they stated that it "operates as designed by toyota." i find this car dangerous to operate because of the delay in acceleration through intersections. I do not have any other family member drive this car until this is resolved. Also, my warranty will soon expire and i am concerned that this is causing transmission damage. |
