RAV4

  • miles
I am experiencing a consistent problem with my 2007 Toyota Rav4 with a lag in acceleration. The time I noticed it the most is when slowing down to about 10 mph to make a turn, as I come out of the turn and press the accelerator, the car does nothing for a couple of seconds. Then the engine revs up and finally lurches forward. After taking it in to the dealership twice and being told that this is how "drive-by-wire" acceleration is designed even though I've told them that I see it as a safety issue, I am not optimistic that this problem will be resolved. I started noticing this problem just a couple of days after purchasing my vehicle.
