Consumer Description

2016 TOYOTA 4RUNNER WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I HAVE NOTICED A LACK OF RESPONSE TO THROTTLE WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. BY THIS I MEAN NO INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM'S PROPORTIONAL TO THROTTLE POSITION. I HAVE SHRUGGED IT OFF AS MY IMAGINATION. NOW I HAVE HAD TWO OCCASIONS WHERE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN ON A STEEP INCLINE WHERE WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STEPPED ON GAS THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK EVEN THOUGH I HAD AT LEAST 1/4 THROTTLE APPLIED. NOT A GOOD SITUATION IF THERE IS A VEHICLE BEHIND YOU.
