Description of the problem | 1st incident: car in motion driving straight uphill on 2 lane country road at 30 mph - car kept lurching forward - lasted a couple of minutes. 2nd incident: car stopped at stoplight. Stepped on accelerator pedal to move straight ahead and car didn't move. Stepped harder on accelerator and car suddenly lurched and sped up very fast. 3rd incident: car in motion and turned onto dead end street. Car started to lurch forward at speed of about 20 mph while driving straight down street - lasted a few seconds. 4th incident: car in motion on route 17west in ny state (3 lane highway with very busy holiday traffic) - driving straight at approximately 65 - 70 mph - in left hand passing lane. Car started to lurch very hard and then lose power - almost had accident trying to move over 2 lanes to shoulder. Car kept lurching forward very hard and then slowing down practically to a stand still - did this for approximately 15 minutes until we could get it off exit and into a gas station. Car was then towed to a toyota dealership - they couldn't find any problems. Car is now sitting in our driveway and we will not drive it any further! Innocent people could get killed because of this car. We have now reported this problem to 3 different toyota dealerships and they cannot determine the problem after inspecting the car. |
