Description of the problem	Car does not accelerate from a stop when pressing the gas petal while car is in drive. This seems to happen only in the summer months. While pulling up to a red light i slowed the car to a stop. When the light turned green i let my foot off the brake, car motioned forward a bit but when i pressed my foot on the gas petal the engine would rev but would not accelerate in any way. I put the car in reverse to try and get out of main road traffic but car continued to have no power. I then put the car into drive, put my foot on the gas petal and again, engine would rev but car would not accelerate. This is very dangerous as the car will roll forward when taking your foot off the brake, so you can roll into the middle of a highway before you realize there is no acceleration putting drivers at great risk of being t-boned while attempting to turn (especially left turns). I have taken the car to toyota twice and service can not find any issues as no codes have shown up. The software was updated and issue occurred again after update.
