Consumer Description

2009 4RUNNER TRANSMISSION SLIPS (REVS TO HIGH RPMS) WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING BELOW 15 MPH (WHILE MAKING TURNS OR SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC). THIS HAS CAUSED DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHERE A SIGNIFICANT LAG TIME BETWEEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS ON COMING TRAFFIC OR WHEN A QUICK ACCELERATION IS NEEDED AFTER SLOWING. THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT IS HIGH. TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS SITUATION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS CONDITION HAVE BEEN REPORTED. *TR
