When starting the car and proceeding to accelerate the car stalls. There have been several incidents where the car has done this (each time being taken to service at Toyota). One in particular almost being hit by a truck when going from a red light to green light.another one turning out of a parking lot and having to make sure there was absolutely no cars coming my direction in fear of being hit while turning and car stalling. These issues have been too many since I have purchased the car. This matter has been taken up to customer relations and reviewing how many times I have taken this vehicle in they continue to tell me that they have not failed to repair my car. I have continued to take the car to be serviced and diagnostic comes up with no problems in the computer system. Also have videos and all of my service invoices regarding the stalling issue that has yet to be corrected.*

I bought this car about 5 months ago and everything was fine until a month ago. Every time I'm driving less than 35 mph I feel a rough down shift is not that bad, but I notice it. It only happens when I'm driving slow, more specifically in the city.Toyota hasn't sent anything regarding this problem. I thought it would go away but it hasn't.

These issues occur consistently while driving on a local side streets at low speeds, between 0-35 mph. (1) when executing a stop and go either at a stop light or a stop sign, my 2019 Avalon xle emits a "jerking" motion before it decides to kick into gear. The "jerking" can easily be felt inside the vehicle. There are multiple drivers experiencing this "jerking". I thought the "jerking" was occurring while the vehicle was warning up, but "jerking" occurs at all times. (2) when travelling at 30-35 mph, and after releasing pressure off the accelerator, the vehicle feels like if the brakes are slowly being applied instead of coasting down the street. I believe the transmission is downshifting in such a way that it feels like the brakes are being applied. The above issues have been occurring since purchasing the vehicle with less than 10 miles on the odometer. I was told to wait for a Toyota service bulletin to be published, but I did not receive any guarantee that such a bulletin would ever be published. I have filed several cases at Toyota headquarters and was told my case would be reviewed by the transmission engineering department. Again, no guarantee that the transmission engineering department would ever review my case. And I have not received any responses or follow ups emails from Toyota headquarters re: My 2019 Avalon transmission issues.
