History: Periodically over the life of the vehicle, when I push down on the gas peddle the car is unresponsive or responds in fits and starts. This is usually upon startup after stopping at a stop sign or light. But it did happen in may of 2019 at 65mph on the freeway (going straight), resulting in sudden deceleration. As I moved over lanes to get to the side of the road, there was a sudden jolt and the car began functioning normally. On Sunday 9/22/19 at 10am I left my home with my daughter to go to the movies. Less than 5 minutes from our home, in our flat neighborhood going 25mph, I stopped at the stop sign then attempted to accelerate through the intersection. The car went a few feet into the intersection and then wouldn't move, the engine making a whirring sound. It was in drive. I turned on the hazard lights and gently attempted to push the gas peddle, finally able to move through the intersection in fits and starts (jolting) to get to the side of the road. I put the car in park, then neutral. Pushed down the gas in neutral and heard the whirring noise. In drive and reverse, the jolting continued. I was able to jolt my way home under 10mph. The car was fine when it was coasting without needing power, jolting when it needed power. Because the car is dangerous, I had it towed to magnussen's Toyota, where it is as of this writing. This is a very dangerous defect and needs to be addressed as it sudden deceleration in an intersection or on the freeway may result in death. Upon initial driving, I was told the vehicle was operating normal. I am worried they won't fix it and I will end up with a very dangerous almost new car. Please help, and help for the safety of others with this same defect.

July 22 2018 afternoon. I was driving the Sienna 2017 on a highway in speed 70mph in the ect mode with my wife and kids. It seemed everything normal at the beginning. When I was pressing gas pedal the car did not accelerate at all. On the contrary, the mini-van was slowing down. I became nervous since that was a 3 lanes highway, I was in leftist lane and there was narrow cube and did not have enough space to stop. I pressed gas pedal harder, and engine got to 6000 RPM however there was no power at all. What made me more nervous was that the display did not show the transmission indicator at all. The display supposes always show the transmission indicator such as P/N/D'. however, at that time the display did not show any of that, the display area was blank. I also pulled the shift handler backward to make sure the gear was on 'd', instead of 'N'. that did not help. I asked my wife to turn on the emergency light since I had to Focus to control the car. I was doing pressed/release gas paddle repeat and it provided a little bit power to the car. I managed switched to the rightest lanes and get to a closed exit. I stopped the car, opened the front hook and saw nothing wrong. Once I restart the minivan, I saw the 'P' showed up in the display. I tested the mini van. Seemed to me, it was back to normal. I drove with extra caution and fear back to home. All this happened right after the very first 5000 miles service for my new car. Transmission lost power in the highway is very dangerous. It may cause fatal accident. I am worried this may happy again in the future. I am scared to drive this car in a highway with my family. I request this to be investigated to prevent it from happening again.
