The car has an issue with shifting from 1st to 2nd. When pressing gas pedal the car briefly accelerates and then the RPM drops and the car almost decelerates. When pressing the gas pedal again the car starts to jerk back and forth until the gas pedal is released. The problem is very reproducible and my sales managers at Toyota sunnyvale were trying to convince me that this is normal. They even claimed to have driven a number of other similar cars and told me that all of them have this "normal" behavior (which confirms that a lot of cars should have this problem). They also said the car is "learning", which is totally bogus. After approaching them with service bulletin T-sb-0330-17 which describes the exact same problem but for 2018 model, they claimed my car can't have this problem since bulletin is for 2018, but the cars have exact same transmissions.

Reaccelaration shock, transmission lag, especially upon re-acceleration from coasting or when trying to overtake someone on the highway, dangerous. Lugging and shift shock on downshifting and upshifting, feels like you get rear ended sometimes. When on a complete stop and step on the gas pedal the car feels like it's stuck in neutral and then it jerks into gear.

Transmission seem very unresponsive when pressing accelerator. Revs up to 2500 before transmission engages. Almost was hit when making a left turn.
