Automatic Transmission · Engine
Car downshifts on small hills while using cruise control. Car hesitates at times and has poor acceleration as the transmission searches for a gear. This lasts for seconds, creating a safety hazard. The problems were resolved with a tsb issued 8/2/07 but the problem came back after a few days. It seemed toyota's "learning" drivetrain re-learned all the problems. *jb

Transmission hesitates when downshifting and then over-compensates. Very dangerous as i have nearly been rear-ended during hesitation which is essentially a stall in traffic and the overcompensation causes one to nearly rear-end the vehicle in front. *tr

The problem i've encountered centers around the transmission. There is a hesitation when the car shifts gears, either when getting up to speed or slowing down to stop. One toyota dealer told me it was a problem with the transmission-related software that could be fixed via an upgrade. However, the problem persists. As a result, i took it to another toyota dealer and the representative of the service department told…

They went back to the original computer program and the problem has been with the car since i bought it, december…

Any surge while driving in hazardous road conditions could lead to loss of control of the vehicle. With the cruise…
